3L 5s, named checkertonic in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 750 ¢ to 800 ¢, or from 400 ¢ to 450 ¢.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperament-agnostic name checkertonic for this scale.

Intervals

This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for interval regions.

Notation

The TAMNAMS system is used in this article to refer to 3L 5s step size ratios and step ratio ranges.

The notation used in this article is JKLMNOPQJ = sLssLsLs (Anti-Ultharian), &/@ = up/down by chroma.

Theory

In contrast to oneirotonic (5L 3s), which often require the usage of completely new chords to have consonant-sounding music, some checkertonic scales contain approximations to a perfect fifth (3/2, usually as a dim. chk6th or maj. chk5th), and thus can be used for traditional root-3rd-P5 harmony.

Low harmonic entropy scales

There are two significant harmonic entropy minima with this MOS pattern:

  • Sensi, in which the generator is a 9/7, two of them make a 5/3, and seven of them make a 3/2, which is proper.
  • Squares, in which the generator is also a 9/7, but two of them make an 18/11 and four of them make a 4/3, which is improper.

Generator ranges:

  • Chroma-positive generator: 750 cents (5\8) to 800 cents (2\3)
  • Chroma-negative generator: 400 cents (1\3) to 450 cents (3\8)
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.
