That's right, and I don't think the Committee will ever want to deal with non-linear systems otherwise than by encoding the individual, standalone symbols. That's one thing.

But here, the better we use the private area, that is, the better we fit into the nuances of Unicode model and its current support for music in running text, the greater are chances that the work done here could be compiled eventually into a successful proposal for proper encoding. That would mean platform-scale support of whatever we'll work out, and would make the development of music fonts, and music notation software itself, much more convenient.
