I once read an article on the subject of the "modern composer's" love affair with making life as difficult as possible for the performer.  The article ended with an example.  The rythms were amazingle complex and the example looked someone had spilt a bag of sharps and flats over the page.
 
When you rationalized the rythms and notes, it was "God Save the Queen" in G major.
 
A real example:  the last movement of the Ligeti "Six Bagatelles" is offered in two versions - the sounding notes and rhythms are identical, but one is written out with the bar lines in different places so that more of the notes land on the beat.
 
All the best,
 
Lawrence
