2L 13s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 2 large steps and 13 small steps, repeating every octave. 2L 13s is a great-grandchild scale of 2L 7s, expanding it by 6 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 560¢ to 600¢, or from 600¢ to 640¢.

This MOS is the simplest that has a tritone as the only possible size of a generator since the smallest size for a tritone is defined to be 7/15edo (560 cents). Since its generator is a tritone, it harmonic entropy minimum is where the generator is 7/5.
