Wonder no more; there's been a few attempts. Here's some from a quick HN search: Hummingbird (https://www.hummingbirdnotation.com/ https://www.hummingbirdnotation.com/), Clairnote (https://clairnote.org/ https://clairnote.org/), and a thread with experimental music notation resources (https://llllllll.co/t/experimental-music-notation-resources/149 https://llllllll.co/t/experimental-music-notation-resources/...)
