13L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 13 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 13L 8s is a grandchild scale of 5L 3s, expanding it by 13 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 457.1 ¢ to 461.5 ¢, or from 738.5 ¢ to 742.9 ¢.
