There are some other scales though, that don't seem to use any consistent stacking pattern or anything like that. Such nice patterns are called MOSes, and not all scales are MOSes. | There are some other scales though, that don't seem to use any consistent stacking pattern or anything like that.

This is the equivalent of diatonic for 15edo. However, unlike a true diatonic, zarlino isn't a MOS. This is because diatonic expects a generator of a coprime fifth, but 9\15 can't be its generator since it isn't coprime, and 8\15 can't be a generator because 8\15-based scales have only one small jump rather than the expected two. So, we mix the two, with a perfect fifth above the root, fourth, and fifth, and a wolf fifth above the fourth, sixth, and seventh. | This is the equivalent of diatonic for 15edo.
