What does something that makes the "playback system" pre-audio recording era work have to do with the context of this thread, "revamp the ancient music notation"?
You have pre-recorded music notation. You have notation created post-recording. Unless you're planning for a post-EM bomb world it's a fool's errand to bother with trying to revamp or improve written transcription when you'll never be able to save the *rendition* of music as accurately as an audio recording.

You'll never get more accurate than a recording. Either the audience can hear the most accurate rendition (and could care less about a transcription), or *a person capable of performing a difference in rendition can HEAR it*.
Bach cello suite in G, the prelude: Rostropovich, Casals, Yo-Yo Ma do it 3 different ways. They're playing what's written. What's the right way Bach wanted?
You'll never be able to notate Rostropovich's version accurately. A fool's errand; and to what reward, when there is the recording?

One would hope before they attempt a recording that they've MEMORIZED it.

to them, "meh that'll take extra time", meanwhile not having a chart takes extra recording time in overdubs.

A band that spends money to go in a studio but doesn't know what they're going to do? That's because they suck and haven't done their homework.

no one uses charts after a song has been recorded the first time? what, huh? something "in the context of 'revamping ancient music notation and theory'." ?

That would be putting words in my mouth.
