I have been thinking about the problem of writing and analysing harmony for music using music notation software. The usual process involves writing the notes and playing it back for listening or relying on music theory knowledge to analyse the harmony. This can make the process of harmonisation quite complicated.
I thought about a possible solution to this: colour-coding the notes/chords across the staff so that the arranger/composer can see, at a glance, the harmonic landscape of the music and the effect of their changes to the music instantaneously.
Is this a viable solution to this problem?

Dear Onoakposeha Efekodha,
Please have a look at the https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365202853_Appassionata_in_Color .

The famous sonata "Appassionata" No. 23 op. 57 by Ludwig van Beethoven in Color is presented. Each pair of bars in musical notation is represented by a color image representing those notes. Pictures are screenshots of the computer screen, on which the color scheme was issued from the C# program. These pictures show the beauty of Beethoven's ingenious composition in terms of architectural composition. Some of the pictures (Tacts 1-267) have short titles to explain the sense of the pictures.
I am glad that your area of interest completely overlaps with my area.
