TAMNAMS haven't endorsed a name for this scale; also it's commonly called an enharmonic scale so I add it

'''12L 5s''' is the MOS pattern of the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]]/[[Schismatic family|schismic]] mega-chromatic scale. In contrast to the [[5L 12s|superpyth mega-chromatic scale]], in which mega-chromatic semitones (negative diminished seconds) are larger than chromatic semitones, here the reverse is true: mega-chromatic semitones are smaller than chromatic semitones, so the [[5L 7s|diatonic scale]] subset is actually [[Rothenberg propriety|proper]].

This MOS separates its small steps by intervals of 3L-2L-2L-3L-2L. Its major third of -4 generators approximates an interval between [[24/19]] and [[32/25]], thus its generator is a perfect fourth between 7\17 (494.118 cents) and 5\12 (500 cents).

12L 5s is the MOS pattern of the Pythagorean/schismic enharmonic or mega-chromatic scale. In contrast to the superpyth enharmonic or mega-chromatic scale, in which the enharmonic diesis (negative diminished second) is larger than the chromatic semitone, here the reverse is true: the enharmonic diesis is smaller than the chromatic semitone, so the diatonic scale subset is actually proper.

This MOS separates its small steps by intervals of 3L-2L-2L-3L-2L. Its major third of -4 generators approximates an interval between 24/19 and 32/25, thus its generator is a perfect fourth between 7\17 (494.118 cents) and 5\12 (500 cents).

The leapday/leapweek version is proper, but the Pythagorean/schismic version is improper (it does not become proper until you add 12 more notes to form the schismic 29-note scale).
