5L 16s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 16 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 16s is a great-grandchild scale of 5L 1s, expanding it by 15 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 228.6¢ to 240¢, or from 960¢ to 971.4¢. This is the MOS which splits its small steps 3-3-3-3-4 between its large steps. Its "diatonic" whole tone/supermajor second generator measures no less than 4/21edo (228.571 cents), meaning 8/7 is less than the boundary of "practicality" for it (which is at 31edo).
