These conventional songs have been translated from 12edo to 41edo. One way to do this is to first translate it to 7-limit JI, perhaps visualizing it on a lattice, keeping in mind that 41-edo tempers out the [[32805/32768|Layo]], [[225/224|Ruyoyo]] and [[5120/5103|Saruyo]] minicommas. Then translate the JI to 41edo.

Often there is only one obvious way to translate a song. "La Bamba" is Iv - IVv - Vv7. Sometimes there are multiple obvious translations. For example, the first 3 chords of "When I Was Your Man" are II7 - IIm7 - I. That could become vII^7 - vII^m7 - Iv, or it could become ^IIv7 - ^IIvm7 - Iv.

In general, upperfect and downperfect intervals are to be avoided. Downmajor is preferred over upmajor. Upminor is preferred for most folk, but downminor is preferred for most blues. Avoid plain major and minor 3rds and 6ths. Comma pumps, other than the aforementioned minicommas, cause pitch shifts, or occasionally, a tonic drift. The choice of which two chords contain the shift can be tricky.

On a six string guitar, if one wants certain voicings of chords and root movements, the choices of key are limited. A seven-string or even an eight-string gives much more freedom.
