Hi Adam. The notation of parts in Queen's Greatest Hits - Off the Record is better than many attempts. But I think you can go so far in attempting to notate every nuance that the music is hard to read. If someone were able to read all that detail, they would probably been able to play it, without all the nuances on the paper.
An example of doing it obsessively and going too far, in my opinion, is the book of Joe Satriani's Surfin with the Alien. To me, it doesn't end up looking how the ear hears it.
