Good evening,
I don't see the practical side of it, it's as if to read the numbers we wrote their name next to them for example1 One2 Two99999 Ninety nine thousand Nine hundred and ninety nine.....ouf !
and not to forget that a (figure) of note on a partition represents a height of sound and an ALSO duration and with some other small signs the way of interpreting it.
So you might as well learn to read music, it's not that difficult and it's very useful.
