A well-known decatonic scale is the 10-note [[2L 8s]] [[mos scale]] of [[pajara]] temperament. Here, [[5/4]] and [[6/5]] are major and minor decatonic fourths, while [[7/6]] and [[8/7]] are major and minor decatonic thirds, respectively. As such, the 5/4 and 7/4 in the harmonic seventh chord [[4:5:6:7]] are major intervals, with the corresponding minor chord being the [[70:84:105:120|1/(7:8:10:12)]] tetrad. There is the symmetrical mos version, and the "[[pentachord|pentachordal]]" [[modmos]] scale, with a step pattern ssLsssLsss, where only the 5-step interval (decatonic sixth) violates the mos criterion by having three qualities (diminished, perfect, and augmented) appear in the scale. | |||
