A-Team tunings (with generator between 5\13 and 7\18) have L/s ratios between 2/1 and 3/1. A-Team tunings share many features with classical meantone tunings:  
A-Team tunings (with generator between 5\13 and 7\18) have L/s ratios between 2/1 and 3/1. A-Team tunings share the following features with classical meantone tunings:  
* The large step is a "meantone", somewhere between near-10/9 (as in [[13edo]]) and near-9/8 (as in [[18edo]]).
* The large step is a "meantone", somewhere between near-10/9 (as in [[13edo]]) and near-9/8 (as in [[18edo]]).
* The major mosthird (made of two large steps) is a [[meantone]]- to [[flattone]]-sized major third, thus is a stand-in for the classical diatonic major third.
* The major mosthird (made of two large steps) is a [[meantone]]- to [[flattone]]-sized major third, thus is a stand-in for the classical diatonic major third.
