I was in my music theory class in high school trying to transcribe 3 or 4 bars I played on the keyboard into the midi software. I couldn’t get it and so I called the teacher over who was a long time conductor. He tried for the rest of class and couldn’t get it. It was simple and in rhythm, but just not something that fit into any notation. There are many “groove window” combination of swing, articulation, syncopation and time that there’s not always a straightforward notation for. Really that style of notation is an attempt to bend the music to classical rules that it doesn’t align with. I wonder if this will be lost as music gets less personal in production.

The notation is a starting point to learn the baseline notes and rhythms. The actual end product is never going to actually match up 100% to the written version except maybe in like middle school.
