Could you build this?
No Professional music notation requires a notation engraving engine with collision avoidance, spacing rules, and layout logic built over decades of domain expertise.
What it would actually take: A real competitor needs a music engraving engine implementing typesetting rules for spacing, beaming, slurs, and page layout, plus MusicXML/MIDI I/O and playback. This requires music-notation domain experts and a long development effort with a large test corpus.
