The generator ccupies the flat end of the spectrum, from 13edo's 461.54 cents to 31edo's 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 kinda get the 23rd harmonic for free.

If you optimize for this 19 limit harmony you also pretty much get the 23rd harmonic for free.


The most plentiful consonant triad in A-Team scales is 4:9:21 or 8:18:21 (the voicing of the 21th harmonic is important for making it sound smooth), followed by 13:17:19 and 4:5:9.
