5L 2s: Difference between revisions

One way of distinguishing the "diatonic" scale is by considering it a [[MOSScales|moment of symmetry]] scale produced by a chain of "fifths" (or "fourths"). This will include [[12edo]]'s diatonic scale along with the Pythagorean diatonic scale and meantone systems, while excluding just intonation scales that use more than one size of "tone".

5L 2s contains the pentatonic MOS [[2L_3s|2L 3s]] and (with the sole exception of the 5L 2s of 12edo) is itself contained in a dodecaphonic MOS: either [[7L_5s|7L 5s]] or [[5L_7s|5L 7s]].
