The only scale with this ~~[[MOSScales|MOS]]~~ pattern that's a really significant minimum of [[harmonic entropy]] is [[~~Diaschismic_family|~~srutal/pajara]], in which the period plus the generator is 3/2. Other scales include [[shrutar]], in which the generator is '''half''' of that (about a [[quartertone]]), so 3/2 is a period plus two generators; and [[~~Porcupine_family#Hedgehog|~~hedgehog]], in which two generators make a 6/5, and 4/3 would be three generators (except that it ~~doesn't~~ appear in this ~~MOS~~).

The only scale with this mos pattern that is a really significant minimum of [[harmonic entropy]] is [[srutal]]/[[pajara]], in which the period plus the generator is 3/2. Other scales include [[shrutar]], in which the generator is ''half'' of that (about a [[quartertone]]), so 3/2 is a period plus two generators; and [[hedgehog]], in which two generators make a 6/5, and 4/3 would be three generators (except that it does not appear in this mos).

In addition to the true ~~MOS~~ with pattern LssLss, all these scales also come in a near-~~MOS~~ version, LsLsss, in which the period is the only generic interval that has more than two specific representatives.

In addition to the true mos with pattern LssLss, all these scales also come in a near-mos version, LsLsss, in which the period is the only generic interval that has more than two specific representatives.

Srutal/pajara probably has the lowest harmonic entropy of all 6-note ~~MOS~~ scales. The near-~~MOS~~ version has even lower harmonic entropy.

Srutal/pajara probably has the lowest harmonic entropy of all 6-note mos scales. The near-mos version has even lower harmonic entropy.
