Below is a list of MOS with number of elements from 5 to 10, in equal temperaments from 5 to 36.
Below is a list of MOS with number of elements from 5 to 10, in equal temperaments up to 36.
Not all mathematical possibilities are listed - solutions of the equation that would yield too "exotic" scale steps (too small/tto big diffference between s and L) are excluded. (The concrete restrictions applied were: a solution appears if 7/6 &lt; L/s &lt; 5.)
