5L 2s (4/1-equivalent)
5L 2s⟨4/1⟩ is a 4/1-equivalent (non-octave) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every interval of 4/1 (2400.0 ¢). Generators that produce this scale range from 1371.4 ¢ to 1440 ¢, or from 960 ¢ to 1028.6 ¢.

Theory
It is the macrodiatonic scale with the period of a tetratave. This means it is a diatonic scale, but has octaves stretched by a stretch factor of exactly 2. The generator is also stretched out from ~3/2 to ~9/4.

Scale tree
| Template: Scale tree is deprecated. Please use Template: MOS tuning spectrum instead.
Details: Use of a single Comments parameter has become unmaintainable. Existing scale trees should be migrated to the new template, where comments are entered using a step ratio p/q as a parameter: {{MOS tuning spectrum
