5L 1s refers to [[MOS scales|MOS scales]] 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. | {{Infobox MOS | ||

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. | 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. | ||
