The generator range is 240 to 342.9 cents, placing it on the [[6/5|diatonic minor third]], usually representing a minor third of some type (like [[6/5]]). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its minor sixth complement (480 to 514.3 cents). | The generator range is 240 to 342.9 cents, placing it on the [[6/5|diatonic minor third]], usually representing a minor third of some type (like [[6/5]]).

Because this is a minor sixth-repeating | Because this is a minor sixth-repeating scale, each tone has an 8/5 minor sixth above it. The scale has one major chord, one minor chord and three diminished chords. This scale also has two diminished 7th chords, making it a warped melodic minor scale. | ||
[[Basic]] | [[Basic]] 3L 2s<8/5> is in [[8ed8/5]], which is a very good minor sixth-based equal tuning similar to [[12edo]]. | ||

There are 2 main ways to notate | There are 2 main ways to notate this scale. One method uses a simple sixth repeating notation consisting of 5 naturals (La, Si, Do, Re, Mi). Given that 1-7/6-3/2 is minor sixth-equivalent to a tone cluster of 1-16/15-7/6, it may be more convenient to notate these diatonic scales as repeating at the double sixth (diminished eleventh~tenth), however it does make navigating the [[Generator|genchain]] harder. This way, 3/2 is its own pitch class, distinct from 16\15. Notating this way produces a tenth which is the Dorian mode of Annapolis[6L 4s] or Oriole[6L 4s]. Since there are exactly 10 naturals in double sixth notation, Greek numerals 1-10 may be used. | ||
