6L 5s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 6 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. 6L 5s is a child scale of 5L 1s, expanding it by 5 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 981.8 ¢ to 1000 ¢, or from 200 ¢ to 218.2 ¢.
This MOS has a harmonic entropy minimum (Baldy) which is highly improper (L=8 s=1) in an optimal tuning, However, its saving grace is that it at least has index 2 in syntonic temperaments with wide fifths like superpyth (2.3.7) and pentacircle (2.3.11/7.13/11)[clarification needed].
