DM me at Twitter (@verydutzi) if you want to talk about it, I’d be happy to!
I think a more “advanced” use case like the one you described can be addressed by something like https://lilypond.org
I never studied music theory, but I play guitar for >20 years, so I just picked some library I found that listed a few common chords, and put it there.
I never (knowingly) played a D6, so didn’t know to look for that one in particular :)
I’ll add the option extend the list, and see if I can find a better list of defaults.
The thing about those ligatures is that each one adds a bit to the font’s weight, they’re not referencing one another - it’s a lot of duplicated “paths” (and IIRC I can define up to 65,536 in total).
It was a lot of fun to make and stylize, but felt slower than it should. I guess it was the “layout stage” (IIRC lots of h/v-boxes).
It was 2 years ago and seems like it’s been well maintained, so maybe they sorted those things out.

Apparently, in Italy it sort-of means "go f*ck yourself" (for Italian hnewers, this means "please wait" for the rest of the world).
The story tells about a soldier who once did that gesture to a car carrying some Italian politician, on their way to the West Bank.
Don't remember the rest of the story now, but it did not end well.
