I was referring to music, not merely a collection of notes.
I certainly agree that the same notes played by Jascha Heifetz
and the kid next door would not be comparable in quality.
Are your assertions, based on 7 notes in one measure, rather broad
and superficial for meaningful musical notation for a score?
There are standards for transcribing and linearizing any musical score
into a form that could be automatically translated to and from any
notation for first-order logic.
In fact, a former colleague of mine at IBM was a pioneer in developing
such translations. His name was Stephan Bauer-Mengelberg. Among other
things, he had been an assistant conductor of the New York Symphony.
He was also a logician who translated many classical texts on logic
from German to English, and he was employed as a mathematician at IBM.
See below for excerpts from his obituary.

Stefan Bauer-Mengelberg, a mathematician, conductor and lawyer, was
found dead last Monday at his home in Amagansett, L.I. He was 69.
The cause was heart failure, said a friend, Pat Trunzo 3d.
Although Mr. Bauer-Mengelberg worked for many years as a mathematician
for I.B.M., his simultaneous career as a conductor and teacher included
many prestigious posts. He was an assistant conductor at the New York
Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein during the 1959-60 season, and
returned in later years as guest conductor of the orchestra.
He also served as the music director of the St. Louis Philharmonic
Orchestra from 1960-62, and as president of the Mannes College of Music
from 1966-69.
His overlapping expertise in computers and music led him to devise a
system of musical notation for computers...
