Equal tunings
- For the 3/2-equivalent 3L 2s pattern, see 3L 2s (fifth-equivalent).
3L 2s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 720 ¢ to 800 ¢, or from 400 ¢ to 480 ¢.
The only notable low-harmonic-entropy scale for this MOS pattern is sensi, in which two generators make a 5/3. The harmonic entropy of sensi[5] is still fairly high relative to other pentatonic scales, such as meantone[5]. It's also improper.
Name
The TAMNAMS system applies the name antipentic as the scale utilizes opposite step sizes to the “classic” pentatonic scale (2L 3s). The name antipentic can be used regardless of the equave.
