6L 16s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 6 large steps and 16 small steps, with a period of 3 large steps and 8 small steps that repeats every 600.0 ¢, or twice every octave. 6L 16s is a grandchild scale of 6L 4s, expanding it by 12 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 381.8 ¢ to 400 ¢, or from 200 ¢ to 218.2 ¢.

It has a small major third as a generator instead of the medium to large major third which generates 3L 8s. With the half-octave equivalence, the third inverts to a "diatonic" whole tone of no more than 4/22edo (218.182 ¢).

Scale properties

This article uses TAMNAMS conventions for the names of this scale's intervals and scale degrees. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is reserved for diatonic interval categories.
