9L 4s⟨7/2⟩ is a 7/2-equivalent (non-octave) moment of symmetry scale containing 9 large steps and 4 small steps, repeating every interval of 7/2 (2168.8¢). Generators that produce this scale range from 1668.3¢ to 1686.9¢, or from 482¢ to 500.5¢.

Shōsūshī - so named because of the four small steps in its diatonic MOS - is an excellent 8*-limit temperament tempering out 64/63.

Properties

In shōsūshī, the just major 21st (15/2) is divided into 7 equal steps. These steps form quartal harmonies (1-4/3-7/4-7/3…). Alternately, the ‘perfect eleventh’ 8/3 also makes a good shōsūshī generator. Compatible equal temperaments include 22ed7/2, 31ed7/2, 40ed7/2 and 49ed7/2.

Notation

Because shōsūshī is a Mahjong hand, its MOS has 13 tones, as in the 13 tiles in a Mahjong hand and its “13 han” Japanese value. Thus the nominals are given as Japanese kana, and to avoid confusion with traditional Japanese notations, hiragana are used.

The notation used in this article is くすつぬふむゆきしちにひみ (ku-su-tsu-nu-fu-mu-yu-ki-shi-chi-ni-hi-mi) = LLsLLLsLLsLLs (Ionian b14), #/b mostly two chromas up/down.

Thus the 22ed7/2 gamut is as follows:

く/み# か/そ さ/と つ/の ぬ/た な/ほ は/も ま/よ ゆ/け き/や き#/せ し#/て ち/ね ち#/に に#/へ ひ#/め み/こ

The 31ed7/2 gamut is notated as follows:

み#/そ か と さ/の た/ほ な も は よ ま/け ゆ き や/せ き# て し#/ね ち に ち#/へ に# め ひ#/け

The 35ed7/2 gamut:
