There is also [[Hemifamity_temperaments#Buzzard|Buzzard]], when the generator is between 471.42¢ (11\28) and 480¢ (2\5), but while this is a harmonically accurate temperament, with 4 generators reaching [[3/2]] and -3 generators [[7/4]], it is relatively weak melodically, as the optimum size of the small steps is around 20-25 cents, making it difficult to distinguish from equal pentatonic.

A-Team (13&18) tunings have L/s ratios between 2/1 and 3/1.
A-Team (13&18) tunings (with generator between 5\13 and 7\18) have L/s ratios between 2/1 and 3/1.


A-Team can be tuned by ear, by tuning a chain of pure harmonic sevenths and taking every other note. This corresponds to using a generator of 64/49 = 462.34819 cents. A chain of fourteen 7/4's are needed to tune the 8-note oneirotonic MOS. This produces a tuning close to 13edo.

Petrtri (13&34) tunings have less extreme L-to-s ratios than A-Team tunings, between 3/2 and 2/1.
Petrtri (13&34) tunings (with generator between 8\21 and 5\13) have less extreme L-to-s ratios than A-Team tunings, between 3/2 and 2/1. The 8\21-to-5\13 range of oneirotonic tunings remains relatively unexplored.  


The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of oneirotonic are as follows in various petrtri tunings.
