A trick with the reference pitch
- Set A = 432 Hz
- Write a piece with the tonic in At (A plus 39 cents in 31edo)
- So your piece is technically 432 Hz while in reality being just 7 cents sharp of 440 Hz
- ??????
- PROFIT
PS: The difference between both A is ~32 cents. The 31edo is not very optimal for the job, but it allows you to write in At Major or in Bbb Minor in the title (so nobody can call you a lier).
PPS: Occasional modulations down a diesis would be nice to have too.

Nice.
You could also just keep it A440 and write a piece in the key of Av (A half flat or whatever one step down from A is). It wouldn’t be exactly A432 but I don’t think anyone would notice.
