If you mean "notation in which to manipulate notes within the
app".... as I said in another post, I think I'd like a
high-level, non-LISP-like programming language I could use to
code my songs. Lacking that, the commonly used piano roll
notation is certainly the most intuitive. (Yes, I did have
piano lessons as a kid and yes, I did learn how to read music.
Piano roll notation still makes more sense to me, especially
when I start transposing.)
If I were a band or orchestra leader, it'd be different... but
I'm not. I'm one guy with a bunch of instruments and a computer
that will record me playing all of them by ear.

I'm a
composer too, but the only time I generate a score is
when someone wants to play my stuff in real life. There's
no need for 18th century notation if you're doing it all
yourself in the digital realm.
is there any more modern musical notation system which you
think preferable? (i am seriously interested)
