12L 7s is the MOS pattern of the meantone enharmonic or mega-chromatic scale. This MOS separates its small steps by intervals of 2L-2L-2L-1L-2L-2L-1L like the familiar 12edo diatonic scale. The perfect fifth which generates it measures 11\19 (694.737 cents) to 7\12 (700 cents).
The meantone enharmonic scale with generator between 11\19 (694.737 cents) and 18\31 (696.774 cents) is proper.
