There are two notable [[Harmonic_Entropy|harmonic entropy]] minima with this [[MOSScales|MOS]] pattern. The first is [[Porcupine_family|porcupine]], in which two generators make a 6/5 and three make a 4/3. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22. Less well-known is [[Chromatic_pairs#Greeley|greeley]], in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like 10/7, 11/7, etc.

Scales of this form are always [[Rothenberg_propriety|proper]], because there is only one small step.
