9L 3s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 9 large steps and 3 small steps, with a period of 3 large steps and 1 small step that repeats every 400.0 ¢, or 3 times every octave. 9L 3s is a child scale of 3L 6s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 100 ¢ to 133.3 ¢, or from 266.7 ¢ to 300 ¢. 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 its period runs LLLs. It is generated by a diatonic semitone or "trienthird"/2/3-tone of 1/12edo (100 cents) to 1/9edo (133.33). It represents, among other chromatic scales, that of the August temperament.
