These conventional songs have been translated from 12edo to 41edo. The process is to first translate it to 7-limit JI, perhaps visualizing it on a lattice~~, then translate that to 41edo~~, keeping in mind the Layo, Ruyoyo and Saruyo minicommas.

Often there is more than one obvious way to translate a song. In general, downmajor is preferred over upmajor, but either upminor or downminor are OK. Comma pumps, other than the aforementioned minicommas, cause pitch shifts, or occasionally, a tonic drift. The choice of which two chords contain the shift is tricky.

=== Manhattan Island Serenade ===

This particular translation adds 7ths to all the chords and features ^7 chords resolving to ^m7 and v7 chords.

This particular translation adds 7ths to all the chords and features ^7 and ^9 chords resolving to ^m7 and v7 chords. The key is upminor, even though downminor is usually better than upminor for bluesy songs. But this song modulates to the relative major, and starting in downminor would lead to a dissonant upmajor key.
