I'm quite sure that's not right. I don't think anything else is in much common use besides basic solfege, especially for teaching.

Music production (ie: what you hear on radio, Spotify, ...) pretty much exclusively uses the so called "piano roll" notation. Most music production software (Ableton, ...) doesn't even support Western notation.

  Ableton Live is at least making movements toward supporting more traditional music-making. 11 lets you pick between flats and sharps. https://old.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/jsqfvx/a_small_detail_added_in_live_11_you_can_now_have/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/jsqfvx/a_small_det...

  If you’re talking about solo producers churning out electronic beats in their studios, sure. If that’s what you listen to on Spotify, fine. First of all, music production is only a small part of music. There are tons of people out there who play musical instruments, and a much smaller number of people who do music production. Almost nobody who plays an instrument will use piano roll notation, because piano roll notation just fucking sucks. It’s the shittiest way to read music. Nearly everyone who reads music in some way reads a score, reads tablature, or at the very least, reads the chords. Second, when you look at music production, there are big chunks of it done with scores. You know why Cubase and Logic are so popular? Partly because they have decent notation systems in them. They’re not competitive with Sibelius/MuseScore/etc., but they work. That’s because people writing scores want to know, “What chord was that? Should I change the chord? Should I revoice it?”

  Logic Pro - and even GarageBand would like to say hello...they are the reason, as a classically trained composer, I purchased my first Mac (Mini G4) in 2005 and have never looked back. :) I use Pro Tools to mix and Logic to compose for this very reason. I don't use Ableton for this very reason. Logic is certainly a mainstream DAW. :) Same with GarageBand. EDIT: Doesn't Cubase also do this? ...like I am pretty sure there are quite a few apps that support this?

  Ableton lets you import .mid files which can be easily created from western notation using MuseScore. I use Ableton as my DAW and if I want to write something in staff notation I just write it in MuseScore (because it's got a good interface for it anyway) and export it as a midi file which I import into Ableton. For the kind of music that I make, though, there's rarely a need to write anything down. I know the parts in my head, I hit record, I start playing.

    There are M4L devices that allegedly let you use notation in Live, but I could never get them to work. You've probably looked into them already, but I mention it just in case.
