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.
