I think there’s no denying that the particulars of the current system of musical notation is more or less an accident of history. But it’s also a local minimum—if you want to improve on it, you’re probably going to have to come up with radical changes.

Like, Colemak and Dvorak are theoretically (and practically, with enough practice) better than qwerty, but they don’t need to just be better, they need to be so much better that people will throw all the investment in qwerty away. Sheet music feels the same.
