sLLLLLsLLLLLsLLLLL
15L 3s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 15 large steps and 3 small steps, with a period of 5 large steps and 1 small step that repeats every 400.0¢, or 3 times every octave. 15L 3s is a great-grandchild scale of 3L 6s, expanding it by 9 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 66.7¢ to 80¢, or from 320¢ to 333.3¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.
