You're absolutely right; hexnot is way less visual than the standard notation. I am a quite non-visual person and I think that's part of the reason I'm inclined towards this approach. Hexnot seems to draw more on the formal and perhaps also linguistic parts of the brain. I also find very reassuring the 1:1 relationship between the numbers and the actual notes, which lets them stand a little bit more in the realm of a symbolic ideal, and less dependent on a position in the staff. Thank you for commenting!
