That sounds like a bit of reality distortion to me.  LilyPond supports
at least half a dozen notation systems seriously predating Klavarskribo
and exceeding its use numbers.

I suspect that translates into "with unnotably many users outside of the
Netherlands".

At a glance <URL:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klavarskribo>, this is
more or less pianoroll music with strictly proportional timing and no
notion of keys or harmonicity.  I would expect Midi to represent all the
transferred information adequately, so postprocessing LilyPond's Midi
seems like a good bet.  There does not seem to be much of a point for
complex typesetting algorithms since the strict proportionality dictates
all the glyph placements.
