'''4L 1s< | '''4L 1s<major sixth>''' (sometimes called '''diatonic'''), is a major sixth-repeating MOS scale. The notation "<major sixth>" 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]]). | ||
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). | 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]]).
