sLLsLLLsLLL
8L 3s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 8 large steps and 3 small steps, repeating every octave. 8L 3s is a child scale of 3L 5s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 436.4¢ to 450¢, or from 750¢ to 763.6¢. The only significant harmonic entropy minimum with this MOS pattern is sensi, in which the generator is 9/7 and two of them make a 5/3.
