Any reason for that beyond “feeling?” And are you very deeply familiar with how the current system resolves differences between the single chromatic and 12 diatonic scales?
Full disclosure here: I’m a pianist who can generally sight read nearly anything (that’s well-edited) put in front of me, to the point of having music directed opera and theater for a living for a while, rather than using my CS and math degrees immediately after earning them from UNC.
I’ve also created an app, BeatScratch (https://beatscratch.io) that, among other things, attempts to resolve some of the challenges of editing (which I’d argue, again, really involves understanding how musical notation maps chromatic and diatonic scales between each other - ie “picking the best sequence of flats and sharps automatically to maximize readability”).
To me, a lot of these “musical notation is outdated” arguments seem the same as “there will soon be no need for programmers; AI can write all our code,” or those arguments insisting some “visual programming” paradigm should replace languages like Rust and Python.
That is to say… they’re arguments made by people who don’t really understand why the existing systems work the way they do and have done so successfully for decades (or centuries).
