CloseI've been thinking about inventing a new, simplified way to write music since I can't be bothered to learn the traditional way. It goes something like this:
This is the opening harpsicord part of God Only Knows by The Beach Boys.
The numbers represent what octave you're supposed to play the note in. The numbers inbetween the notes represent the corrosponding black keys. Each of those columns is a single beat; if you were to play, say, a french horn over multiple beats, you'd draw a line after the number to the place you want to stop.
How does this sit with the musically inclined here?

Yeah. I think that learning to the real transcribing method would be easier than making up your own. Seriously, it's not that hard.
personally i don't bother too much with musical notation. i usually just improvise around chords and play that way.
if you're trying to show other people your work, sheet music is the best way to show them, if not in a recorded audio format.
if you're just writing stuff down for yourself to remember, then do what you will! you'd laugh at how many weird little scribbles i sketched out myself when writing music.
actual line from my notebook: "play hard Em part with little ditties after chorus, then go into bridge/solo with no perc"
