Just to clarify, this is a discussion list where you may get some useful
feedback. This is not where you would submit an actual proposal.

See https://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html

I am proposing the addition of 2 new characters to the Musical Symbols

In an actual proposal, I would expect a discussion of whether you are
proposing to encode established symbols, or whether you are proposing new
symbols to be adopted by the community (in which case Unicode would
probably wait & see if they get established).

A proposal should also show evidence of usage and glyph variations.
