Music twitter: are there any instruments besides guitar and bass where it's normal for even very advanced players not to be able to read sheet music?

I guess I see it this way: modern guitar tabs don't but historical/non-western tabla def have dynamics (noted above) key value is a bit of an extrinsic concept to the notation, and note value is relative idk overall standard notation seems like a very proscriptive notion of good

I'm not like a super decolonization person but equating "reading music" to a particular set of chromatic-adjacent scales specific to late post baroque Europe seems limiting, vs tablature that can capture a huge range of harmonic relations

It also has information sheet music doesn’t — like which string to play a given note on.
