This is so sad -- I have seen such a program ACTUALLY RUNNING. In the 1990 ICMC Proceedings, Glendon Diener from Stanford describes a program he wrote called Nutation, which does exactly this and more. The more? -- support for non-western music notation. In fact, he demoed a piece written in some Okinawan tablature system for voice and samisen, all then synthesized on the NeXT DSP. Relly interesting approach to representation, too. WHat happened to this program? Dunno. Hope that it hasn't gotten mired in the licensing and distribution quagmire (yet another argument for PD software...!)
