It also seems to me that in practical terms, the amount of changing of synthesis parameters in the midst of a song is generally not that great and it’s not like we haven’t had the similar issue of notating pipe organ stops for a few centuries.
For that matter, it’s not like there aren’t centuries of alternative notation systems, whether it’s tablature, figured bass, or neume notation.

More modern music for more complex organs will include a small amount of text indicating when to change between stop configurations or sets of manuals that are preset. I can't imagine it would be that hard to notate such things for electronic music. Good old text sitting next to your good old staff works wonders. The bigger issue for electronic music, IMO, is the notation of sounds that don't fit on a staff well. Modern classical composers (who use sheet music extensively in the creative process) have various notations for these sorts of things.
