8L 2s, named taric in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 2 small steps, with a period of 4 large steps and 1 small step that repeats every 600.0 ¢, or twice every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 120 ¢ to 150 ¢, or from 450 ¢ to 480 ¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.

Scale tree

Template: Scale tree is deprecated. Please use Template: MOS tuning spectrum instead. Details:
Use of a single Comments parameter has become unmaintainable. Existing scale trees should be migrated to the new template, where comments are entered using a step ratio p/q as a parameter:

{{MOS tuning spectrum
| 3/2 = Example comment
| 4/3 = Another example comment
}}

The parameters tuning and depth have been replaced with Scale Signature and Depth, respectively.
