4L 6s, named lime in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 4 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 2 large steps and 3 small steps that repeats every 600.0 ¢, or twice every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 240 ¢ to 300 ¢, or from 300 ¢ to 360 ¢.
