You might call for using Unicode:
 r16 g♯( a g♯ f♯♯ g♯ c♯ e d♯ c♯ d♯ c♯ b♯ c♯ e
g♯)

You need a font, though, and perhaps a special key map, too.
Now that's a fun idea.  It even works!
Thank you. I think it increases readability, too.
If you want readabilty, why not have

   ♯g( a ♯g ♯♯f

etc? For typeability, ymmv though.

I think that, even though accidentals come before the note in musical
output, in the text stream g# is much more readable than #g.


I would have beaten the the world record of the 100m escaping out of the music school if I would have had to say "double bémol sol". Nevertheless it is a matter of vocal cords, I still sing "sol" and not "fa"...
