As it is a [[rank-2]] system, stacking 5/3 with tritave-reduction can produce [[MOS scale]]s, just like how Pythagorean tuning famously produces a version of the pentatonic, diatonic and chromatic scales. | As it is a [[rank-2]] system, stacking 5/3 with tritave-reduction can produce [[MOS scale]]s, just like how Pythagorean tuning famously produces a version of the pentatonic, diatonic and chromatic scales. | ||
The non-trivial MOS scales that are produced are: [[2L 1s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 1s<3/1>]], [[2L 3s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 3s<3/1>]], [[2L 5s (3/1-equivalent))|2L 5s<3/1>]], [[2L 7s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 7s<3/1>]], [[2L 9s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 9s<3/1>]], [[2L 11s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 11s<3/1>]], [[13L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|13L 2s<3/1>]], [[15L 13s (3/1-equivalent)|15L 13s<3/1>]], [[28L 15s (3/1-equivalent)|28L 15s<3/1>]], etc. Probably the most practical scales are the 11-note (2L 9s), 13-note (2L 11s), and 15-note (13L 2s) scales. The reason for all of the 2L scales is because 5/3 (884 cents) is quite near √3 (951 cents) (incidentally, this fact is realized by the [[bug]] temperament, and removing octaves from bug results in a 3.5 [[equal temperament]] interpretation of [[2edt]]). All of the scales with less than 11 notes are very hard (lopsided L/s ratio) due to the proximity to 2edt, making them difficult to use melodically, so it's | The non-trivial MOS scales that are produced are: [[2L 1s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 1s<3/1>]], [[2L 3s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 3s<3/1>]], [[2L 5s (3/1-equivalent))|2L 5s<3/1>]], [[2L 7s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 7s<3/1>]], [[2L 9s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 9s<3/1>]], [[2L 11s (3/1-equivalent)|2L 11s<3/1>]], [[13L 2s (3/1-equivalent)|13L 2s<3/1>]], [[15L 13s (3/1-equivalent)|15L 13s<3/1>]], [[28L 15s (3/1-equivalent)|28L 15s<3/1>]], etc. Probably the most practical scales are the 11-note (2L 9s), 13-note (2L 11s), and 15-note (13L 2s) scales.

The 13-note MOS scale is also called [[Trithagorean]] by Jake Freivald (perhaps could be called Trithagorean[13] to specify, like saying Pythagorean[7] or Pythagorean[12]). | The 13-note MOS scale is also called [[Trithagorean]] by Jake Freivald (perhaps could be called Trithagorean[13] to specify, like saying Pythagorean[7] or Pythagorean[12]). | ||
