2L 6s, also called subaric, is a moment of symmetry scale consisting of 2 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 3 small steps that repeats twice every octave, or every 600¢. This scale is made using a generator ranging from 450¢ to 600¢, or from 0¢ to 150¢.
Two notable harmonic entropy minima for this MOS pattern are srutal/pajara and shrutar. They are both improper.
In addition to the true MOS form, LsssLsss, these scales also have an interesting near-MOS form, LssLssss, in which the period is the only generic interval represented by more than two specific intervals.
