I'm very interested in learning more about "Include common notation and theory as a special case" but the documentation for that isn't yet ready, and I also have only elementary knowledge of Haskell. If this means what I think it means, this project could be a great boon to anyone working with non-western music.
For instance, when I first started learning programming my motivation was to create a program to render Byzantine chant, which has a completely different visual representation. Here's an example with the byzantine notation above the western notation (the bottom staff is the ornamentation implied by the byzantine notation): http://www.cappellaromana.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Che...
If anyone can offer tips on how to approach this problem, I'd be grateful. But I might have to play with this. The code for my ill-fated attempt for byzantine chant is here, if anyone is interested: https://github.com/muraiki/byzscribe

Another different visual representation is that of shakuhachi music: http://www.rileylee.net/shaku_notation.html
