OTC 5L 2s

Omnitetrachordal MOS scale

5L+2s

7 tones (3+1+3)

The classic diatonic scale (meantone, Pythagorean, superpyth). (1)

P = 2.2600167527 (L=9/8, s=256/243)

L = 171.43 to 240.00 cents (203.91 cents @ P)

s = 0.00 to 171.43 cents (90.22 cents @ P)

9/8 = L (171.43 to 240.00 cents)

4/3 = 2L+s (480.00 to 514.29 cents)

generator = 3L+s (685.71 to 720.00 cents)

notable EDOs: 12, 17, 19, 22, 26, 29, 31, etc.
