12L 5s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 12 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. 12L 5s is a grandchild scale of 5L 2s, expanding it by 10 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 494.1¢ to 500¢, or from 700¢ to 705.9¢.

Temperaments supported by this scale include those under the Pythagorean and schismic families, characterized by a diesis (the difference between a large step and two small steps) that is smaller than the chroma.

The leapday/leapweek version is proper, but the Pythagorean/schismic version is improper (it does not become proper until you add 12 more notes to form the schismic 29-note scale).

Modes

Mode names are borrowed from the Subaru scale, proposed by Declan Paul Boushy.
