If someone came up with a notation system that enabled teenage girls to

Where I live, that notation system is the Aiken shape notes seen here:

There are church communities here where people seriously do not know
that the rest of the world uses "unshaped" notes. And with pretty
minimal music education, a never-before-seen hymn can have full SATB
harmony by the second verse.
