I thoroughly agree with Alex’s entire epistle. In my opinion the inclusion of smaller clefs at their own separate codepoints is an example of “legacy encoding” – the purpose of which is to preserve round-trip conversion to Unicode and back to another encoding. Given the argument that small clefs are are not different symbols, semantically, I fail to imagine a situation where that kind of conversion would actually be useful.
