The [[Meantone|meantone]] pentatonic scale, in which the generator approximates 4/3 but other intervals in the scale approximate 6/5 and 5/4, has by far the lowest harmonic entropy of all 5-note MOS scales, which explains the worldwide popularity of these scales and their very long history of use. It is also strictly [[Rothenberg_propriety|proper]]. | The [[Meantone|meantone]] pentatonic scale, in which the generator approximates 4/3 but other intervals in the scale approximate 6/5 and 5/4, has by far the lowest harmonic entropy of all 5-note MOS scales, which explains the worldwide popularity of these scales and their very long history of use.
