I applaud your efforts to update something so anachronistically designed. I think it looks very cool, I like the duration symbols.
On the down side, I am very surprised you decided to redo music notation, but keep to a 7 tone diatonic graph structure.
One of the most counter-intuitive things about sheet music is it assumes a 7 note scale, making the graph inaccurate: the space between B and C are displayed visually as the same as the space between C and D when that is not the case in any physical realm, and it makes transposition harder than it needs to be.
In my view, the 7 note scale assumption is a horrible, frustrating, legacy, like having to learn DOS before being allowed to operate an iPhone.
7 note scales are a misleading assumption not only for any "modern classical" composers, but also for any blues, rock n roll, north indian classical music ...
There may not be an easy solution to address all this, but I am curious about the reasoning behind your approach.
