Tuning challenge/invitation

Hi all,

I have this little piece for piano, flute, oboe, and bassoon that I originally wrote in a while ago in 12TET (key of E major). Not sure if it's finished yet (I might add a little more to it), but for the upcoming MMM Day I'd like to render it using a different tuning scheme, and I've been having trouble finding one that sounds good to me. I'm not even sure if I'm retuning it right (I'm using Scala).

Anyway, I thought I'd offer up the midi file for anyone to play with who would like to try their hand at finding a suitable retuning and helping me render it into a sound file. I'll share credit with whoever comes up with a solution I like.

I'm also open to collaborating on the piece itself, if someone is inspired to add to it. I wrote it in Noteworthy Composer, and I'll share that file if you want to work with it in that form.

Here's the file: http://mysterybear.net/files/SundayAfternoon.mid

I'd like to hear it with Lucy-tuning myself.

Charles made me a Lucy-Tuned version last year, actually. It's now a little out of date, because I subsequently lowered the tempo and changed the keyboard from harpsichord to piano. But when I have a some other versions (I have one so far), I will post them all for comparison.
