Western music notation is messy. You can tell it's a system that evolved over a little more than, let's say, 1200 years and has a certain logic to it, but also a ton of "yeah, somehow we need to account for 12 semitones, but it's really only built for a seven-tone scale, so we invented all those fancy accidentals", but sometimes you notice the system is used in ways it wasn't intended for.

And then we get to the point where pile on accentuation and articulation marks because nowadays we write stuff like that explicitly, whereas 300 years ago it was kinda convention to play things in certain ways and everyone knew them.
