| '''5L 5s''', '''blackwood''' or '''pentasymmetric''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with period 1\5 (one degree of [[5edo]] = 240¢) and generators ranging from 1\10 (one degree of [[10edo]] = 120¢) to 1\5 (240¢). In the case of 10edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).
| | {{MOS intro}} |
|
| |
|
| The true MOS, LsLsLsLsLs, is always proper because there is only one small step per period, but because there are 5 periods in an octave, there are a wealth of near-MOSes in which multiples of the period (that is, intervals of an even number of steps) are the only generic intervals that come in more than two different flavors. Specifically, there are 6 others: LLssLsLsLs, LLssLLssLs, LLsLssLsLs, LLsLssLLss, LLsLsLssLs, LLsLsLsLss. [[15edo]] is right on the boundary of being [[Rothenberg_propriety|proper]].
| | There is only one significant [[harmonic entropy]] minimum with this MOS pattern: [[limmic temperaments#5-limit_.28blackwood.29|blackwood]], in which intervals of the prime numbers 3 and 7 are all represented using steps of [[5edo|5edo]], and the generator reaches intervals of 5 like 6/5, 5/4, or 7/5. |
| | |
| | In addition to the true MOS form (LsLsLsLsLs and sLsLsLsLsL), there are 6 near-MOS forms – LLssLsLsLs, LLssLLssLs, LLsLssLsLs, LLsLssLLss, LLsLsLssLs, LLsLsLsLss – in which the period and its multiples (intervals of 2, 4, 6, and 8 mossteps) have more than two varieties. These forms are proper if the bright generator is less than 160¢. |
|
| |
|
| Some important properties of Blackwood are:
| |
| * Blackwood[10] has the most 5-odd-limit consonant triads it is possible to have in a 10-note 5-limit scale.
| |
| * Because it is a 10-note scale with a period of 1/5 of an octave, any arbitrary harmony will occur either 5 or 10 times within the 10-note scale, and for otonal harmonies consisting of three or more notes, the utonal counterpart of the harmony will also occur either 5 or 10 times within the scale; this is a property that is only held by other scales with 5 periods per octave.
| |
| * Blackwood[10] is also a "mode of limited transposition" like the Diminished and Augmented scales in 12edo: since the scale is built by applying the generator only a single time within each period, the scale has only two modes.

| === Approximate JI Chords ===
| |
| The dominant 7th and minor-major 6th are both 7-limit chords (4:5:6:7 and 1/(4:5:6:7), respectively). The diminished triad also approximates 5:6:7. There are no full otonal 11-limit hexads in the 10-note scale, but there are lots of smaller 11-limit chords (otonal and utonal) approximated:

| == Diatonic Modal Harmony in Blackwood[10] ==
| |
| Because 15edo is not a meantone temperament, and thus does not temper out the syntonic comma of 81/80, the usual 5L2s diatonic scale is not available. In fact, in 15edo the syntonic comma, which is normally only 21.51 cents, is tuned quite wide: it is mapped to one step of 15edo, and is thus 80 cents! However, one can approximate the diatonic scale (or rather, approximate the various untempered 5-limit JI versions of it) using 3 step-sizes—a large whole tone of 240 cents representing 9/8, a small whole tone of 160 cents representing 10/9, and a semitone of 80 cents representing 16/15. Since these non-MOS diatonic scales do not temper out the syntonic comma, they will only have at most five consonant 5-limit triads (unless an 8th note is included in the right place). They may have even fewer, depending on how the steps are permuted (for instance, if the step-pattern 240-240-80-240-160-160-80 is used, only two consonant 5-limit triads are available).
| |
| | |
| However, if one insists on using only the versions of the diatonic scale that have the maximum number of consonant triads available, then it turns out all of these scales will be 7-note subsets of Blackwood[10]. They will also be the most compact arrangement of those five consonant triads possible on the 5-limit triangular lattice, which is just a fancy way of saying those five chords will be maximally connected to each other by common tones. This suggests that one can approach melody in Blackwood[10] by treating it not as one 10-note scale, but as several related 7-note scales, each of which functions like a 5-limit untempered version of the diatonic scale.
| |
| | |
| This approach allows one to apply the usual principles of diatonic tonality and modality, with the caveat that each familiar mode of the diatonic scale will come in two flavors, depending which of the 7 notes one wants to build consonant triads on. The two flavors will share six notes in common, but one of the seven will differ by 81/80 (i.e. one step of 15edo). Interesting relationships do arise if one maintains the tonic but switches through its different modes (i.e. 1 mixolydian to 1 ionian to 1 lydian), and an "extra" mode appears, because five fifths close (hence V/V/V/V = IV, unlike in meantone where V/V/V/V = iii). All together, there are 14 modes of the 7-note diatonic to be found in Blackwood[10] if we keep the same tonic, and 20 if we allow alterations of the tonic.

5L 5s, named pentawood in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 5 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 1 small step that repeats every 240.0 ¢, or 5 times every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 120 ¢ to 240 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 120 ¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.
There is only one significant harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern: blackwood, in which intervals of the prime numbers 3 and 7 are all represented using steps of 5edo, and the generator reaches intervals of 5 like 6/5, 5/4, or 7/5.
In addition to the true MOS form (LsLsLsLsLs and sLsLsLsLsL), there are 6 near-MOS forms – LLssLsLsLs, LLssLLssLs, LLsLssLsLs, LLsLssLLss, LLsLsLssLs, LLsLsLsLss – in which the period and its multiples (intervals of 2, 4, 6, and 8 mossteps) have more than two varieties. These forms are proper if the bright generator is less than 160¢.
