Equal tunings
9L 7s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 9 large steps and 7 small steps, repeating every octave. 9L 7s is a child scale of 7L 2s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 525 ¢ to 533.3 ¢, or from 666.7 ¢ to 675 ¢.
This can be seen as a Mavila chromatic scale, but some mavila tunings generate 7L 9s. The entire range can be used as a mavila tuning, but tunings around 671-673c are perhaps best if you wish to generate an accurately-tuned 5/4 with the generator.
This scale is also generated by the golden antidiatonic tuning of around 672.8 cents.
