The associated fifth ranges from 8\14 to 3\5, thus guaranteeing a diatonic fifth. 4/3 being approximated by +2 generators, the generator is called a semi-fourth. The most salient feature of the semi-fourth interval is that it is an ambiguous 8/7~7/6, or an approximate 15/13 if the scale is viewed as involving factors of 13. This MOS can be viewed as two parallel [[5L_2s|diatonic]] scales separated by a semi-fourth, and has analogous points of low harmonic entropy where two generators would approximate a [[meantone]] or [[superpyth]] 5th, plus an additional one between 15/13 & sqrt(4/3) where it is ideal for [[The_Archipelago#Barbados|barbados]] subgroup harmonies.

5L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 9 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 9s is a child scale of 5L 4s, expanding it by 5 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 942.9 ¢ to 960 ¢, or from 240 ¢ to 257.1 ¢. The associated fifth ranges from 8\14 to 3\5, thus guaranteeing a diatonic fifth. 4/3 being approximated by +2 generators, the generator is called a semi-fourth. The most salient feature of the semi-fourth interval is that it is an ambiguous 8/7~7/6, or an approximate 15/13 if the scale is viewed as involving factors of 13. This MOS can be viewed as two parallel diatonic scales separated by a semi-fourth, and has analogous points of low harmonic entropy where two generators would approximate a meantone or superpyth 5th, plus an additional one between 15/13 & sqrt(4/3) where it is ideal for barbados subgroup harmonies.
