1L 5s, named antimachinoid in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 1 large step and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 1000 ¢ to 1200 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 200 ¢. There are two notable low-harmonic-entropy scales with this MOS pattern. The first is tetracot, in which four generators make a 3/2. The second is a scale in which two generators make a 5/4, which could be referred to by various names. The temperaments "luna", "hemithird", and "hemiwürschmidt" all have 6-note MOSes that are very similar. But perhaps it is best known as roulette6, the six note haplitonic scale for the roulette Chromatic pair.
