8L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 8 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 1 small step that repeats every 150.0 ¢, or 8 times every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 75 ¢ to 150 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 75 ¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.
