	5L 1s refers to [[~~MOSScales~~\|~~MOSScales~~]] with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have [[6edo\|6edo]], the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach [[5edo\|5edo]], with five equal whole tones of 240 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.		5L 1s refers to [[MOS scales\|MOS scales]] with 5 large steps and 1 small step.

	The only notable low-harmonic-entropy scale with this MOS pattern is [[Gamelismic_clan\|slendric]], in which the large step is 8/7 and three of them make a 3/2.
