18L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 18 large steps and 9 small steps, with a period of 2 large steps and 1 small step that repeats every 133.3¢, or 9 times every octave. 18L 9s is a child scale of 9L 9s, expanding it by 9 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 44.4¢ to 66.7¢, or from 66.7¢ to 88.9¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period.
