It sounds like the written language is more similar to vocal musical instructions; and also like the 'spices' analogy that I was making is how the changes in display and connecting forms work.

With so much complexity and variability present at the time in history that the written form becomes fixed, I can't imagine any solution actually being easy, and can only think of editor software offering an emoji like list of likely 'accents' for a given 'word' (and breaking it down per character for corrections).

Such a system sounds incredibly tedious for user and programmer alike. I am glad that written 'western' languages became 'fixed' many centuries ago.
