}}'''5L 1s<11/6>''', also known as the greater whole tone scale, refers to [[MOS scale]]s with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have [[6ed11/6]], the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach [[5ed11/6]], with five equal whole tones of 209.873 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. | |||
The only notable low-harmonic-entropy scale with this MOS pattern is tetracot, in which the large step is 10/9 and four of them make a 3/2 since the seventh (septave) 11/6 is 1049.323¢. | |||
Scales with this pattern are always [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]], because there is only one small step. | |||
