8L 12s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 12 small steps, with a period of 2 large steps and 3 small steps that repeats every 300.0¢, or 4 times every octave. 8L 12s is a grandchild scale of 4L 4s, expanding it by 12 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 120¢ to 150¢, or from 150¢ to 180¢.
