A-team
A-Team is a 2.9.21 temperament generated by a tempered 21/16 with a size ranging from 5\13 (461.54¢) to 7\18 (466.67¢), or to about 470¢ if you don't care about tempering out 81/80. Three 21/16's are equated to one 9/8, which means that the latrizo comma (1029/1024) is tempered out. It's natural to consider A-Team a 2.9.21.5.11 temperament by also equating two 9/8's with one 5/4, tempering out 81/80. The generator generates 5-, 8-, and 13-note MOSes, most notably the 8-note "oneirotonic" MOS; see also 13edo#Modes_and_Harmony_in_the_Oneirotonic_Scale.
13edo, 18edo, 31edo, and 44edo all support A-Team with their closest approximations to 9/8 and 21/16. 13edo, while representing the 2.9.21.5 subgroup less accurately, gives the chords extra interpretations; for example, the chord H-C-D-F (in Cryptic Ruse's notation) represents both 8:10:11:13 and 13:16:18:21 in 13edo. 31edo gives the optimal patent val for the 2.9.21.5 subgroup interpretation. 44edo is similar to 31edo but better approximates primes 13, 17, 19 and 23.
Its name is a pun on the 18 notes in its proper scale, which is a 13L 5s MOS.
