Certainly! If the language has a conscript (or a borrowed natscript associated with it), it is written in it. So we'd write Quenya, Sindarin and Nur-ellen in Tengwar (perhaps different styles: Quenya "archaic", Nur-ellen "modern", Sindarin something in between), Klingon in Klingon letters, Brithenig in a stylish Insular uncial font, etc. And SolReSol in muscial notes.
