sLsLLsLLsLsLLsLL
10L 6s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 10 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 5 large steps and 3 small steps that repeats every 600.0¢, or twice every octave. 10L 6s is a child scale of 6L 4s, expanding it by 6 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 225¢ to 240¢, or from 360¢ to 375¢. This scale is notable for supporting Lemba temperament; the entire range is suitable, with a generator range of about 229 to 232 cents being optimal.
