6L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 6 large steps and 9 small steps, with a period of 2 large steps and 3 small steps that repeats every 400.0 ¢, or 3 times every octave. 6L 9s is a child scale of 6L 3s, expanding it by 6 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 160 ¢ to 200 ¢, or from 200 ¢ to 240 ¢.

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.
