This is indeed what I have already outlined: give a glyph a name that
shows it's a ligature (e.g. for "mp" a name of "uniE561_uniE560"), define
it in the liga table, and assign it a codepoint in the agreed-upon range,

I don't think that's correct. Although there are 11 combining glyphs
included in the Unicode Musical Symbols range for creating ornaments,
there are no actual ornaments that use these combining glyphs defined in
the range.
