SMuFL Metadata for ligatures and alternates

​​
We an using BravuraText in a web-based XML editor for MGG Online (a
German-language music encyclopedia), and most of the use cases for
inserting SMuFL character are one character at a time. (As an example, for
the article on "Furlana": " Seit dem 16. Jh. wurden aber bereits
Musikstücke mit dem Titel ballo furlano im einfachen zweizeitigen Takt
( oder 2/2) und mit bewegtem Tempo gedruckt.")

Because of this, and because we have not built an application to allow
users to position glyphs relative to one another, our authors and editors
cannot insert strings of SMuFL characters into their text. In order to make
this work, we need to offer the recommended ligatures in addition to the
standard set of of SMuFL code points. The problem is that, while ligatures
and alternates are includes in the SMuFL documentation, the SMuFL metadata
files (which we use to created configuration files for our XML editor) do
not contain ligatures or alternates. Would it be possible to provide a
second set of metadata files that include the ligatures and alternates?
Right now, we're using the metadata file for BravuraText to generate
metadata for ligatures and alternates, but that files doesn't contain a
"Description".

Many thanks,
Jonathan
