Hi musicus,

I think you’re right that standard notation is not as good as it
could be for such chromatic music, and you have an interesting
approach for improving it. I agree with what others have said about
the ambiguity of the notes though.

One idea would be to use triangle shapes for the accidental notes to
better clarify their relation to the “natural” or rather
in-the-key, non-accidental, notes. Like a diatonic-staff version of
Reed’s Twinline:

There's http://www.simplifiedmusicnotation.org/. They offer a commercial plugin for Sibelius, but I also have a LilyPond implementation for it lying around somewhere.
