Brahms partsong JI

This is a development of my idea that 171edo could be used as a good
approximation of 7-limit (and 17-containing) intervals, and
simultaneously as an adaptive almost-JI due to its almost exact
1/3-comma steps.

However, on consideration I think for Romantic repertoire one probably
needs the 16-19-24 minor chord, which is not all that well served by
this type of temperament. Hence I have gone over (or back) to JI using
7-, 17- or 19-containing intervals as necessary. Given the range of
fifths and tones available with fairly simple just ratios, temperament
is not strictly necessary.
The test piece was 'Waldesnacht':

The notation is as follows: The default tuning of the root and fifth
of every common chord is Pythagorean with respect to the keynote D.
For major chords the default tuning of the third is 5/4 from the root.
Other chords and deviations from default will be specified
individually by giving the ratio relative to d=1/1 (up to octave
equivalence). Any other unspecified notes remain Pythagorean.

b.25 -

Of course there are many different possibilities, particularly for the
dim and aug intervals, but this ought to be a fair start.
Now the question is how (if at all) to synthesize it...
