-'''5L 1s''' refers to [[MOS scale]]s with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have [[6edo]], the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach [[5edo]], with five equal whole tones of 240 cents. In between, we find relatively even hexatonic scales with one irregularity: a "whole tone" which is smaller than all the others — perhaps not a "whole tone" at all.

+This MOS scale, in its equalized form (L=s) produces [[6edo]], or the equal-tempered whole-tone scale, and in its collapsed form (L=1, s=0), produces [[5edo]]. In between these extremes are relatively even hexatonic scales with one  "whole tone" which is smaller than the others — perhaps not a "whole tone" at all.
 The only notable low-harmonic-entropy scale with this MOS pattern is [[Gamelismic clan #Slendric|slendric]], in which the large step is 8/7 and three of them make a 3/2.
