>A 12-semitone approach is never going to match the usability of even the existing system

I am obliged to point out that a 12-semitone approach is in fact part of the "existing system" (see: pitch-class set theory).

(Mind you, I of course think its usefulness is overrated, because I think the "atonal" repertory is tonal.)
