If we are going to follow Paul's plan and warp meantone into a
related temperament, keeping the fifth as a generator, it seems to me
the most obvious way to proceed is to sharpen and get to
superpythagoran (with the 5/4 promoted to a 9/7) instead of
flattening and exchanging major and minor thirds. I've posted the
same Scarlatti sonata retuned this time to the 22-equal version of
superpythagorean. It's in the superpythagorean folder.
