^ indeed,

Also it is very similar to starting learning a new language (written in this case). Of course it will require time and efforts dedicated specifically to that task - learning it and studying it.
I can give an example only from my perspective:
I have hundreds of song ideas (sometimes even whole songs) in structure, chords and melodies. Some that I've got on video are fine to recall or relearn.
But the ones that have been "written" only in audio mediums are a pain in the butt (chords, cadences, sequences). Of course I can match them by ear, but I use specific inversions, not so simple chords (as triads) rather "add/sus" bass lines... it is nightmare to reproduce.
So, that was my ambition to re-define the standard notation.
Piano keyboard was much earlier endeavour, because I hated that keyboard. Not anymore... I've got a completely new and comfortable one now.
