==="Meantone" A-Team tunings===
Generator size ranges from 13edo's 461.54 to 18edo's 466.67 cents. This range offers the best ratio of large to small melodic steps too: ranging from 13edo's L:s = 2:1 to 18edo's L:s = 3:1.

Occupies the flat end of the spectrum, from 461.54 to 464.52 cents.

Surprisingly, A-Team tunings in this range can approximate some high-limit JI chords, owing to the generator being close to the 17/13 ratio and three of them approximating both 9/8 and 10/9, thus approximating their [[mediant]] 19/17. The 11th harmonic makes an appearance too, because it is approximated by both 13edo and 31edo. Thus A-Team can be viewed as representing the no-3, no-7 19-odd limit. If you optimize for this 19 limit harmony you also get the 23rd harmonic for free.
