5L 7s⟨3/1⟩ is a 3/1-equivalent (tritave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every interval of 3/1 (1902.0¢). Generators that produce this scale range from 1109.5¢ to 1141.2¢, or from 760.8¢ to 792.5¢.

Theory

As a macrochromatic scale

It is a stretched p-chromatic scale, and an extension of a macrodiatonic scale (5L 2s (3/1-equivalent)) with the period of a tritave. This means it is a chromatic scale, but has octaves stretched out to the size of a tritave. Other intervals are also stretched in a way that makes them unrecognizable: the diatonic fifth is now the size of a major seventh. Interestingly, 27edt, an approximation of 17edo, has a tuning of this scale, meaning it contains both an octave-equivalent and tritave-equivalent p-chromatic.

Temperament interpretations

It is possible to construct no-twos rank-2 temperament interpretations of this scale, but it is difficult to interpret within commonly-studied no-twos subgroups like the 3.5.7 subgroup used for Bohlen-Pierce. Hard-of-basic scales can be interpreted in Mintaka temperament in the 3.7.11 subgroup (or its extensions such as Mintra), which tempers out 1331/1323 so that the generator (the stretched counterpart of the fourth) is ~11/7, a stack of 2 generators (equivalent to the minor seventh) is ~27/11, and a stack of three generators (equivalent to the minor third) is ~9/7.

Modes

The modes have step patterns which are the same as the modes of the p-chromatic scale.

Notation

Being a descendant of a macrodiatonic scale, it can notated using the traditional diatonic notation, if all intervals are reinterpreted as their stretched versions (like octaves as tritaves). However, this approach involves 1-based indexing for a non-diatonic MOS which is generally discouraged. Alternatively, a generic MOS notation may be used like diamond MOS notation, which enables 0-based indexing at the cost of obscuring the connection to the standard diatonic scale.
