Traditionally, we use a [[5L 2s|diatonic]] system of interval classification. This works well in the [[5-limit]] and in [[meantone]]. However, in other systems like [[superpyth]], a pentatonic system of classification based on the [[2L 3s]] [[MOS scale]] may be preferred, with priority on the [[2.3.7 subgroup|2.3.7-]][[subgroup]]. In this page, we will develop a pentatonic version of the [[FJS]], starting from the [[3-limit]] and using [[formal comma]]s to reach higher limits.
{{Idiosyncratic terms|The abbreviation "PFJS", using the terms "sub/super" for augmented and diminished, and all of the PFJS interval names are only found on this page.}}
