Surprisingly, this wasn't as rough as I would have expected from Maple Leaf Rag in 46EDO super-pythagorean (46c). I would be interested to hear a version of this with syntonic comma adjustments.
And congratulations on figuring out how to get your music software to actually have a bit of registration.

Thank you 😀46-edo version with syntonic-comma adjustments could be made, but would require a longer time... this piece should be dealt with manually, whereas maple Leaf Rag allowed a semi-algorithmic approach....

@@ClaudiMeneghin How did you figure out an algorithm for Maple Leaf Rag?

[@ClaudiMeneghin]

@@Lucius_Chiaraviglio Sorry, «algorithm» was a rather misplaced word... it was a rule for tuning the usual 12 tones into 46-edo (same for 34 and 22), with some exceptions, based on Maple's tonal centres.

@@ClaudiMeneghin Seems that something similar should work for Bruhn -- after all, music from that time was definitely written with notes that appear shifted from a 12EDO point of view.

@@Lucius_Chiaraviglio Undoubtedly so 🙂 but Bruhns' tonal centres vary to a greater extent than in Maple Leaf Rag, so it would be longer job to write them down.
By another point of view, tonal centres could be calculated as well (more easily in major than in minor, though), but I've not been able to set up any programs or formulae to do so 🤔While minima of sets of integer numbers are easy to be spotted out😉this strategy won't work in more chromatic frameworks, even in baroque music.
