[[TAMNAMS]] suggests the temperament-agnostic name '''onyx''' for this scale. The name comes from ''a lot'' of naming puns and references, namely:
{{TAMNAMS name}}


*The name sounds like its step counts of '''one''' large step and '''six''' small steps.
== Scale properties ==
*Onyxes come in different colors and types, which is a metaphor for this scale's generator range being quite large and containing the generator ranges of other MOS scales, such as [[7L 1s]], [[8L 1s]], and [[9L 1s]].

1L 6s, named onyx in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 1 large step and 6 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 1028.6 ¢ to 1200 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 171.4 ¢.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name onyx as the name of 1L 6s.

Theory

Low harmonic entropy scales

There is one notable harmonic entropy minimum: porcupine, in which the generator is around 150¢ to 170¢, two generators make a 6/5 (315.6¢), and three make a 4/3 (498¢).
