Actually, this relates to another one of SMuFLs guidelines. I don't have them at hand, but I seem to remember there being a general rule about parenthesis having negative sidebearings. Whether this is appropriate or not depends on the spacing of other symbols in a given range, so a general rule to that effect might not be preferable.

Yes, I agree that this is too close. So you are proposing, then, that we allow discretionary left- and right-hand side bearings for glyphs in the following ranges:
– Time signatures
– Figured bass
– Function theory symbols
– Time signatures supplement
There might be an argument to be made for extending this policy to the individual letter glyphs (m, a, v, b, plus the digits 8, 15, 22) in the "Octaves supplement" range.
Yes, and I would include these categories as well:
– Tuplets
– Chord Symbols
– Dynamics (at least the individual ones unless this creates a problem with correct vertical placement.
Actually, it might be better to make a general comment in the guidelines that any text og number glyphs meant to be entered in sequences (like text) or in line with a text font exclusively should not necessarily have zero width sidebearings (but you should definitely come up with a better wording than that).
