5L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 8s is a child scale of 5L 3s, expanding it by 5 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 461.5 ¢ to 480 ¢, or from 720 ¢ to 738.5 ¢.

5L 8s represents the chromatic scales of Semisept, A-Team, and Vulture temperaments.
