5L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 8s is a child scale of 5L 3s, expanding it by 5 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 461.5 ¢ to 480 ¢, or from 720 ¢ to 738.5 ¢. 5L 8s represents the chromatic scales of Semisept, A-Team and Vulture temperaments.

Scale tree

Template: Scale tree is deprecated. Please use Template: MOS tuning spectrum instead. Details: Use of a single Comments parameter has become unmaintainable. Existing scale trees should be migrated to the new template, where comments are entered using a step ratio p/q as a parameter: {{MOS tuning spectrum | 3/2 = Example comment | 4/3 = Another example comment }} The parameters tuning and depth have been replaced with Scale Signature and Depth, respectively.
