'''4L 1s<5/3>''' (sometimes called '''diatonic'''), is a major sixth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<5/3>" means the period of the MOS is 5/3, disambiguating it from octave-repeating [[4L 1s]]. The name of the period interval is called the '''sextave''' (by analogy to the [[tritave]]). | '''4L 1s<5/3>''' (sometimes called '''diatonic'''), is a major sixth-repeating MOS scale.

The generator range is 171.4 to 240 | The generator range is 171.4 to 240 cents, placing it on the diatonic major second, usually representing a major second of some type (like [[8/7]]). The bright (chroma-positive) generator is, however, its major sixth complement (685.7 to 720 cents). | ||
Because this diatonic is a major sixth-repeating scale, each tone has a 5/3 | Because this diatonic is a major sixth-repeating scale, each tone has a 5/3 major sixth above it. The scale has one augmented chord, two major chords, two minor chords. This diatonic also has two dominant 7th chords, making it a warped Neapolitan minor scale. | ||
