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. This MOS is always proper because there is one small step per period.
