For example, the 5L2s (diatonic) scale of 19edo has a step ratio of 3:2, which is ''soft''. We call the 19edo diatonic scale ''soft diatonic''. Tunings of a mos with L:s larger are ''harder'', and tunings with L:s smaller are ''softer''. | For example, the 5L2s (diatonic) scale of 19edo has a step ratio of 3:2, which is ''soft''.
