41-equal Lumatone: First crack at All the things you are (Monthly Tunings)

Inspired by Kite Giedraitis' arrangement/tuning of this standard in 41-equal, I made my own, for my first submission to XA - Monthly Tunings   / 979055042181607   for quite a while.

I certainly haven't practiced enough yet, with the comma-shifting II-Vs still not quite muscle-memorised. Really wish I could also stretch to all of these tenths, would open a few things up. Hoping to tidy this up and upload another more polished performance soon, but it will likely be in 53 or 94-equal instead, as I still find the 9:10 and 3:5 approximations in 41-equal just a little off, in that uncanny valley between perfect and full of character.

Where possible, I keep the tonic fixed (G#=/Ab), however there is one weird modulation at the end of the bridge, from \E\maj7 through C\7 alt back through to F/m7, where the A section starts. I like to hold \\A#-\\D#-\\G# over \E\maj (the \#4, \7, \3), enharmonically \Bb-\Eb-\Ab over C\7 alt (the \b7, \b10, \b13), before rising a comma to the quartal (C-F-)Bb-Eb-Ab and then finally back to /Bb-/Eb-/Ab over F/m (the /11, /b7, and /b3).

Sorry for all the screw-ups, I still need to lock in some of the comma movement. This arrangement covers most of the tuning, at least the chain of fifths from \Ab through to /B (34 tones, though I don't think I used /C, /G, /D or /A).
