9L 2s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 9 large steps and 2 small steps, repeating every octave. 9L 2s is a child scale of 2L 7s, expanding it by 2 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 654.5 ¢ to 666.7 ¢, or from 533.3 ¢ to 545.5 ¢.

It represents temperaments like Avila (narrow generator) and Casablanca (wide). CompactStar has suggested the names ultradiatonic and superarmotonic by analogy to 7L 2s's name of superdiatonic, while Ganaram Inukshuk has suggested villatonic as a reference to the aforementioned Avila and Casablanca.

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.
