5L 3s⟨5/2⟩ is a 5/2-equivalent (non-octave) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 3 small steps, repeating every interval of 5/2 (1586.3 ¢). Generators that produce this scale range from 594.9 ¢ to 634.5 ¢, or from 951.8 ¢ to 991.4 ¢.

Theory

This scale can be thought of as a MOS generated by 5/2-equivalent jubilic temperament where 50/49 vanishes. This is one of the most simple no-threes temperaments, although in this case it is using the second-best period choice of 5/2 rather than 2/1, causing strict MOS to be generated rather than multi-MOS. The bright generator of the MOS represents 7/5~10/7 and the dark generator represents 7/4~25/14. This gives 5L 3s⟨5/2⟩ many approximations of 4:5:7 chords for no-threes harmony.
