So you want it to be AsciiDoc for music. Tablatures are actually
already done frequently in a somewhat similar manner and work reasonably
well for guitar music that is not too complicated.
For lots of music, the format's relation between visual and musical
complexity is not good enough to convey musical sense fast enough. Even
for guitar music, it clutters the field of vision much more with symbols
than ASCII tablature does.
Mathematicians don't converse in ASCII notation but graphical formulas,
even if some of them are reasonably versed in looking at TeX notation.
Something like
Dies ist
\begin{multline}
\label{eq:51}
f(t+\Delta t,x) = \beta\frac{d(x)}{d(x)+d(x-\Delta x)}
f(t,x-\Delta x)\\
+ (1-2\beta + \beta \frac{d(x)}{d(x)+d(x+\Delta x)}
+ \beta\frac{d(x)}{d(x)+d(x-\Delta x)})\,f(t,x)\\
+ \beta\frac{d(x)}{d(x)+d(x+\Delta x)}\,f(t,x+\Delta x)
\end{multline}
Für die weitere Herleitung kürzen wir jetzt die Ableitung etwa von $d$
nach der Ortskoordinate~$x$ mit $d'$ ab.
is quite harder to peruse than
Dies ist

ab.
Music is similar in that respect. AsciiDoc has a much simpler task
since its principal substance is letters and it is used for structuring
text. Nevertheless it has not become the bees' knees of documentation
writing, it is just one semipopular way of doing things.
There are numerous forms of piano roll notation that are a lot better
candidates for playing material than your proposal. Maybe you should
look at them for inspiration.
