6L 4s, named lemon in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 6 large steps and 4 small steps, with a period of 3 large steps and 2 small steps that repeats every 600.0¢, or twice every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 360¢ to 400¢, or from 200¢ to 240¢. Supported temperaments include antikythera, lemba, and echidnic.
