I'm an explorer too and I'm fascinated by the diversity and beauty of maqam based music.
I consider the explanations example scores that Erlanger left in La Musique Arabe a masterpiece, because he preserved many maqamat and techniques
related to them that today are disappearing.
I'm trying to create short pieces experimenting with each one of the maqamat he left examples in scores and some other few interesting rare maqamat,
to find out how they sound and how they feel. I made a list with 100 maqamat and I already was able to compose in 90 of them. I was using 72-ET. But
as I said above, ratios and mainly pythagorean tuning sounds much better. Now almost at the end of my project I'm feeling a desire to re-tune them all
accordingly.
Thank you for your tips.
