SMuFL glyphs with multiple Unicode points?

In the SMuFL table, I see that some glyphs have multiple code points, first the SMuFL, then the Unicode Musical Symbol:

Is Dorico using both? Asking because I’m working on converting a music font to SMuFL, and I need to know which one(s) need populated. Thanks.

Since SMuFL is a superset of the older Musical Symbols range, I guess that a SMuFL-based application doesn’t make use of the latter. But according to the SMuFL specification “it is recommended that common characters are included both at code points in SMuFL and in the Unicode Musical Symbols range”.

Thanks, @benwiggy confirmed that Dorico uses the SMuFL only, not the standard Unicode. I’ll probably live dangerously and do without the latter, and add it in if all goes south.
