I think these ligatures could have codepoints in the range for dynamics
(or, to be more precise: an additional subrange could be created).
Similarly, in any range that ligated (composed) characters occur (like
articulation or ornaments), providing a subrange for composed glyphs
would be more convenient than one area above u+f400 for all kinds of
symbols and more clear (both for application developers and end-users)
than keeping different compound ornaments together with ornament strokes.
