L 4th Meantone [5] add +2, +5
L 4th Meantone [5] add +2, +5


 
Sensi is a good example because it's nether heptatonic nor fifth-generated. Here's a Sensi [8] MOS and MODMOS in both heptatonic and octotonic notation. The generator, a heptatonic 3rd or octotonic 4th, is chroma-negative. In 19edo, generator = 7\19, L = 3\19, and s = 2\19.
Using the numbers 1-5 both as note names and as scale degrees, we get this genchain:
|| notation || scale name || sL pattern || example in C || genchain ||
...5# 3# 1# 4# 2# 5 3 1 4 2 5b 3b 1b 4b 2b bb5...
|| heptatonic || 5th Sensi [8] || sL sL ssLs || C Db Eb E# Gb G# A B C || Gb B Eb G# __**C**__ E# A Db ||
...-5 -3 -1 -4 -2 5 3 1 4 2 +5 +3 +1 +4 +2 ++5...
|| octotonic || 5th Sensi [8] || sL sL ssLs || C D E# F G# H A B# C || G# B# E# H __**C**__ F A D ||
and these standard modes:
|| heptatonic || 5th Sensi [8] +7 || sL sL sssL || C Db Eb E# Gb G# A Bb C || Gb * Eb G# __**C**__ E# A Db * Bb ||
1 1st Meantone [5] = 1 2 +3 4 +5 1
|| octotonic || 5th Sensi [8] +8 ||&lt; sL sL sssL || C D E# F G# H A B C || G# * E# H __**C**__ F A D * B ||
1 2nd Meantone [5] = 1 2 3 4 +5 1
Heptatonic fifth-based notation:
1 3rd Meantone [5] = 1 2 3 4 5 1
C - C# - Db - D - D# - Eb - E - E#/Fb - F - F# - Gb - G - G# - Ab - A - A# - Bb - B - B#/Cb - C
1 4th Meantone [5] = 1 -2 3 4 5 1
Octotonic fourth-based notation:
1 5th Meantone [5] = 1 -2 3 -4 5 1
C - C#/Db - D - D#/Eb - E - E# - Fb - F - F#/Gb - G - G# - Hb - H - H#/Ab - A - A#/Bb - B - B# - Cb -C
The initial "1" is the tonic of the scale.
 
The A C B D F E G A scale becomes 1 2 -2 3 4 +5 5 1, which has 3 possible names:
1 3rd Meantone [5] add -2, +5
1 2nd Meantone [5] add -2, -5
1 4th Meantone [5] add +2, +5
