3L 6s, named tcherepnin in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 6 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 2 small steps that repeats every 400.0¢, or 3 times every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 266.7¢ to 400¢, or from 0¢ to 133.3¢.

Name

TAMNAMS suggests the temperaement-agnostic name tcherepnin for this scale. This is named after Alexander Tcherepnin's 9-note scale which, in 12edo, is notated as C Db Eb E F G Ab A B C, forming the step pattern of HWHHWHHWH in standard notation (assuming a root of C).
