Hi musicus,
I think you’re right that standard notation is not as good as it could be for
such chromatic music, and you have an interesting approach for improving it. I
agree with what others have said about the ambiguity of the notes though.
One idea would be to use triangle shapes for the accidental notes to better
clarify their relation to the “natural” or rather in-the-key, non-accidental,
notes. Like a diatonic-staff version of Reed’s Twinline:

Although, I’m not sure how that would work with sharp or flat notes in a given
key... (are they ovals or triangles?)
BTW, is there a standard term for non-accidental notes? You would think it
would be “natural notes” but sometimes natural notes are also accidental notes.
Cheers,
-Paul
