As indicated above, I have asked the developer of the Dyslexie- font, Christian Boer, if he sees possibilities to develop an equivalent music font.
I received his answer the next day. He writes that it I'm not the first one who comes with this idea to him. He also adds the remark that he can't read music himself and 'is not very musical'. Nevertheless, it might be possible for him to develop a better readable font but he needs to start investigations and tests with people suffering from dyslexia. Then, he would develop a solution which needs more testing and validation.
It might take more than a year to complete such a project. That is, a man-year of full time work for which some form of financing should be found (to pay for income, facilities, resources...). He doesn't think someone is interested enough to provide that lot of money.
He ends with the suggestion that dyslectic musicians might learn to play by ear. And that seems common practice, as discussed above.
