7L 13s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 13 small steps, repeating every octave. 7L 13s is a grandchild scale of 6L 1s, expanding it by 13 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 1020 ¢ to 1028.6 ¢, or from 171.4 ¢ to 180 ¢.
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 7L 13s 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 17-mosstep, produces the following scale degrees. A chain of 20 bright generators contains the scale degrees of one of the modes of 7L 13s. Expanding the chain to 27 scale degrees produces the modes of either 20L 7s (for soft-of-basic tunings) or 7L 20s (for hard-of-basic tunings).
