17L 5s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 17 large steps and 5 small steps, repeating every octave. 17L 5s is a great-grandchild scale of 5L 2s, expanding it by 15 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 490.9¢ to 494.1¢, or from 705.9¢ to 709.1¢. This scale is the parent of another MOS scale that exhibits the fractal-like acoustic effects for which Archagall temperament is named- however, this scale also has tuning areas that don't support these effects.
