If 4\7 (four degrees of 7ED8/3) is at one extreme and 3\5 (three degrees of 5ED8/3) is at the other, all other possible 5L 2s scales exist in a continuum between them. You can chop this continuum up by taking "freshman sums" of the two edges - adding together the numerators, then adding together the denominators (i.e. adding them together as if you would be adding the complex numbers analogous real and imaginary parts). Thus, between 4\7 and 3\5 you have (4+3)\(7+5) = 7\12, seven degrees of 12ED8/3. | If 4\7 (four degrees of 7ED8/3) is at one extreme and 3\5 (three degrees of 5ED8/3) is at the other, all other possible 5L 2s scales exist in a continuum between them.
