That's great that you plan to have such a group. So if you will create
clones of UNDERTIE in different sizes you might want to take into
consideration these examples:

Ruggero Leoncavallo. Pagliacci. Piano-vocal score. Edition Peters.
http://notovodstvo.ru/smufl/lyrics/leoncavallo1.pdf
http://notovodstvo.ru/smufl/lyrics/leoncavallo2.pdf

Especially the second one where Undertie symbol covers not only a
space but also a comma before that. In this sense symbols U+0028,
U+0029 and U+005F in Opus Text font provide even more flexibility than
Emmentaler.

All the best,
Peter
