16L 1s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 16 large steps and 1 small step, repeating every octave. 16L 1s is related to 1L 9s, expanding it by 7 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 70.6 ¢ to 75 ¢, or from 1125 ¢ to 1129.4 ¢. Scales of this form are always proper because there is only one small step.

Scale properties

This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for interval regions.
