4L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 9 small steps, repeating every octave. 4L 9s is a child scale of 4L 5s, expanding it by 4 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 276.9 ¢ to 300 ¢, or from 900 ¢ to 923.1 ¢.

4L 9s represents chromatic scales of Huxley, Lovecraft, gariberttet, and subklei temperaments. The harmonic entropy minimum for this pattern maps +2, +3, and +5 bright generators to 7/5, 5/3, and 7/3, respectively, which is the mapping corresponding to gariberttet (tempering out 3125/3087) and its extensions such as quasitemp and kleiboh. Lériendil has proposed the name paragonic for this scale.
