Equal tunings
3L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 3L 8s is a child scale of 3L 5s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 763.6 ¢ to 800 ¢, or from 400 ¢ to 436.4 ¢.
This scale has versions relating to ditonic/coditone, roman, bossier, sqrtphi, and squares. The unique generator g for which the suspended chord (that is, 1/1 - 2/g - g) is isodifferential generates this MOS (it is (sqrt(17) + 1)/4 = 428.422 ¢, only 0.15 ¢ away from 5\14), and as a result, Lériendil has proposed the name isodiaphoric for this scale.
