BTW, that will be very counterintuitive for a performing player, because a performing musician will look both ahead and behind during performances. Adding more dynamism to an already stressful real-time flow is not good.

How do I know? I’m a double bass player.

It was an example of GPT offering a notation unrelated to anything mentioned in the prompt. I wasn't suggesting we all adopt it as our new notation.

This whole comment page feels like a chain of "it clearly can't do X" -> "it does X" -> "no obviously it does X but it can't do Y", spread among several threads and repeated over and over.

I've tried this out. It doesn't seem to matter how you phrase your request for "alternative music notation", it suggests colouring it in. Which is very easily found on a Wikipedia page describing an existing system used to teach music, as well as many other pages on the topic.

It runs on the inputs you give it, not the ones inside your head. If you don't specify what kind of notation you want, then colored-in notes is a perfectly reasonable notation for it to suggest. If you want something else, you can literally type "Give me another idea that isn't related to color" into the input box.
