2L 11s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 2 large steps and 11 small steps, repeating every octave. 2L 11s is a grandchild scale of 2L 7s, expanding it by 4 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 553.8 ¢ to 600 ¢, or from 600 ¢ to 646.2 ¢.
This MOS is the minimal truly chromatic scale[clarification needed] of Liese, Triton, and Tritonic temperaments.
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 diatonic interval categories.
Intervals
The intervals of 2L 11s are named after the number of mossteps (L and s) they subtend. Each interval, apart from the root and octave (perfect 0-mosstep and perfect 13-mosstep), has two varieties, or sizes, each. Interval varieties are named major and minor for the large and small sizes, respectively, and augmented, perfect, and diminished for the scale's generators.

Generator chain
A chain of bright generators, each a perfect 6-mosstep, produces the following scale degrees. A chain of 13 bright generators contains the scale degrees of one of the modes of 2L 11s. Expanding the chain to 15 scale degrees produces the modes of either 13L 2s (for soft-of-basic tunings) or 2L 13s (for hard-of-basic tunings).
