I think you are giving music notation way more credit than it deserves. I'm probably saying this on the wrong board, but it'd really, as others said, be a shame to have such a constraining definition of what music is. So much 20th century music that is very much music almost defies notation. I'm not sure you'd be happy to exclude music that is difficult to fairly reproduce with other performers based on notation. Seems a little over the top.
