User:Unque/Redeye scale

The Redeye scale is a rank-3 scale proposed by Michael, Wad Wizard, and Unque. The scale is defined by the 14-note sequence sLmLsLmLsLmLsL; it has 7 large steps, 3 medium steps, and 4 small steps.
Name
The name "Redeye" comes from a portmanteau of "Red" and "Di-," from the names of the Redwood and Dicoid scales. This name is chosen by comparison to another rank-3 scale, Blackdye.
Scale Properties
The following MOS scales can be made by collapsing the Redeye scale:
| Pattern | Brightness Quotient | Rotational Order |
|---|---|---|
| sLmLsLmLsLmLsL | 4 | 1 |
| LmLsLmLsLmLsLs | 13 | 2 |
| mLsLmLsLmLsLsL | 7 | 3 |
| LsLmLsLmLsLsLm | 10 | 4 |
| sLmLsLmLsLsLmL | 3 | 5 |
| LmLsLmLsLsLmLs | 12 | 6 |
| mLsLmLsLsLmLsL | 6 | 7 |
| LsLmLsLsLmLsLm | 9 | 8 |
| sLmLsLsLmLsLmL | 2 | 9 |
| LmLsLsLmLsLmLs | 14 | 10 |
| mLsLsLmLsLmLsL | 5 | 11 |
| LsLsLmLsLmLsLm | 8 | 12 |
| sLsLmLsLmLsLmL | 1 | 13 |
| LsLmLsLmLsLmLs | 11 | 14 |
