3L 10s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 10 small steps, repeating every octave. 3L 10s is a child scale of 3L 7s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 369.2 ¢ to 400 ¢, or from 800 ¢ to 830.8 ¢.

Some notable temperaments that form a mos with this pattern are magic and würschmidt. Of course, Magic[13] is still slightly improper and Würschmidt[13] is almost totally lopsided (L:s = 6:1 to 8:1). Even so, the excellence of magic temperament as a fit for 13-tone-per-octave melodic scales and its close affinity to strongly harmonic fifth temperaments make up for the roughness of the major third that 13-tone circles favor multiple times over.
