Bringing up 12 tone, when first exposed to this music, the first thing I did is rewrite it on a rearranged chromatic staff. It is so clear that it belongs that way. But it certainly isn't easier to play that way.

So I feel a "new" notation system that is easier to read, not that interesting, nor that helpful. But an "alternative" system that is optimized around composing in a certain way is interesting, and helpful, but when you're done it probably makes sense to write it in traditional notation if you are going to write it down.




Absolutely, there's always room for domain-specific languages (or notations).
