Is there an alternative for the representation of the sheet music

Depends what kind of music you want to make or play.

It's good at representing traditional Western music, which is what it was made for. Melodies can be tough when they have a lot of non-sequential chromaticism, similar with non traditional chordal. Rhythms can get fucked up too, polyrhythms are especially unintuitive.

But that's all the exception rather than the rule. Most stuff reads fine.

sheet music is absolute garbage for microtonal work
it's clumsy for indicating fingering, and it's often very unintuitive to translate a written rhythm into a felt one
but it's the best system we've got

How do I start writing microtonal music? Are there any resources available for learning, and how do I even get my hands on a microtonal keyboard or software program? Is there even a "system" or is it just completely no-man's-land?

I've kind of got the same question desu, haven't gotten around to writing anything myself. xenharmonic is a wiki with links to software programs etc. a lot of the literature is paywalled, so you have to go through a university with a music program. composers have their own notational systems generally speaking. and a lot of people build their own instruments, although there are a couple commercial solutions out there if you've got the $
if you've got a midi keyboard one thing you can do is try alternate tuning systems, you can set up some wild stuff like ben johnston's just intonation scale
