Again many thanks for your investigations.
* about signum congruentiae: I agree with you that the exact shape is
not significant since the variety of this symbol is very broad.
* about `trill_element` vs. `trillelement`: This was changed by Han-Wen in
commit c49e0fd544f (dated 2004) without any log messages. It looks
like an oversight that `trillelement` wasn't removed then.
* About the rotated wiggle glyphs in Bravura: Do you have any idea why
this is so? If not, can you please ask the SMuFL people? It looks
definitely wrong to me! They should either correct the font or
provide glyph name aliases for horizontal typesetting (assuming that
glyph names, once introduced, can't be changed any longer).
There are far too much annoying things in OpenType for vertically
typeset scripts due to backward compatibility issues caused by
incapable typesetting systems. IMHO, today the proper technology
exists to avoid the need of horizontally composing glyph strings
that must be rotated afterwards.
* In your table I don't see a Bravura glyph
`ornamentZigZagLineShortened`. Is it really shortened that much so
that you no longer can see it? :-)
I agree with all your other conclusions (and lack of knowledge to add
more comments).
