'''5L 3s''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 2\5 (two degrees of [[5edo]] = 480¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's). | '''5L 3s''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 2\5 (two degrees of [[5edo]] = 480¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢).

5L 3s is a | 5L 3s is a [[Warped diatonic|warped diatonic scale]], because it has one extra small step compared to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic mode LLsLLLs can be distorted to the Dylathian mode LLsLLsLs. | ||
Any edo with an interval between 450¢ and 480¢ has a 5L 3s scale. [[13edo]] is the smallest edo with a (non-degenerate) 5L 3s scale and thus is the most commonly used 5L 3s tuning. | Any edo with an interval between 450¢ and 480¢ has a 5L 3s scale.
