sLLLsLLLsLLLsLLL
12L 4s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 12 large steps and 4 small steps, with a period of 3 large steps and 1 small step that repeats every 300.0¢, or 4 times every octave. 12L 4s is a grandchild scale of 4L 4s, expanding it by 8 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 75¢ to 100¢, or from 200¢ to 225¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.
