Equal tunings
7L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 7 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 7L 8s is a child scale of 7L 1s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 160 ¢ to 171.4 ¢, or from 1028.6 ¢ to 1040 ¢.
It is notable for supporting Porcupine, of the porcupine family.
Name
Leriendil uses the name "roklotic" for 7L 8s, due to its similarity to the Roklotian scale used in Famanan music theory.
Scale properties
