Below are ranges of generators for various L-s patterns of [[MOS scale]]s, with the number of steps in the scale from 2 to 29. The ranges are given in fractions of the interval of equivalence, which is normally an octave. The tables give the range of bright generators in the second column, normalized so that the lower end of the range is where L/s = 1 (Nedo). The third column gives the boundaries of propriety, maximum expressiveness and diatonicity (i.e. best, better and good behavior). Finally, the fourth column gives the formula for the size of the chroma. We have normalized to the formula for the step size where the leading term is positive. | Below are ranges of generators for various L-s patterns of [[MOS scale]]s, with the number of steps in the scale from 2 to 29.
