13L 7s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 13 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 13L 7s is a grandchild scale of 6L 1s, expanding it by 13 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 180 ¢ to 184.6 ¢, or from 1015.4 ¢ to 1020 ¢.
Scale properties
- This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for diatonic interval categories.
Intervals
The intervals of 13L 7s are named after the number of mossteps (L and s) they subtend. Each interval, apart from the root and octave (perfect 0-mosstep and perfect 20-mosstep), has two varieties, or sizes, each. Interval varieties are named major and minor for the large and small sizes, respectively, and augmented, perfect, and diminished for the scale's generators.

Generator chain
A chain of bright generators, each a perfect 3-mosstep, produces the following scale degrees. A chain of 20 bright generators contains the scale degrees of one of the modes of 13L 7s. Expanding the chain to 33 scale degrees produces the modes of either 20L 13s (for soft-of-basic tunings) or 13L 20s (for hard-of-basic tunings).
