'''5L 1s(<15/8>)''' refers to [[MOS scale]]s with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have [[6edo|6edo]], the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach [[5edo]], with five equal whole tones of 240 cents. In between, we find relatively even hexatonic scales with one irregularity: a "whole tone" which is smaller than all the others — perhaps not a "whole tone" at all.

Lua error in Module:MOS at line 28: attempt to index local 'equave' (a nil value). 5L 1s(<15/8>) refers to MOS scales with 5 large steps and 1 small step. When L=s we have 6edo, the equal-tempered "whole tone scale" of impressionistic fame. At the other end of the spectrum, we approach 5edo, with five equal whole tones of 240 cents. In between, we find relatively even hexatonic scales with one irregularity: a "whole tone" which is smaller than all the others — perhaps not a "whole tone" at all.

The only notable low-harmonic-entropy scale with this MOS pattern is slendric, in which the large step is 8/7 and three of them make a 3/2. Other low-harmonic-entropy scales with this MOS pattern tune the seventh (septave) 1080¢ or flatter for making a quarter 3/2.

Scales with this pattern are always proper, because there is only one small step.
