2L 5s, pelogic, or antidiatonic refers to the structure of octave-equivalent MOS scales with generators ranging from 3\7 (3 degrees of 7edo = 514.29¢) to 1\2 (one degree of 2edo = 600¢). In the case of 7edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 2edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the two equal L's).

While antidiatonic is closely associated with mavila temperament, not every 2L 5s scale is an instance of "mavila", since some of them extend to 2L 7s scales (like the 2L 5s generated by 11edo's 6\11 = 656.5657¢), not 7L 2s mavila superdiatonic scales.

In terms of harmonic entropy, the most significant minimum is at Liese/Triton, in which the generator is about 7/5 and three of them make a 3/1.

Notation

Diamond MOS notation, &/@ = raise and lower by one chroma

JKLMNOPJ is J = C Antiionian (ssLsssL); J = C = 261.6256 Hz, J should should look like middle C on staff.
