2L 8s
2L 6s, named subaric in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 2 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 3 small steps that repeats every 600.0¢, or twice every octave. Generators that produce this scale range 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 interval with more than two interval varieties.
