With contextual alternates (+calt), some people will want to turn off the long-tailed “Q” but keep the shorter ‘f’ so that it does not collide with a closing parenthesis, for example. Since both of these are assigned to calt, you have to either keep both of them or have neither of them. There is a workaround in LuaLaTeX, but definitely not in every typesetting system. I think it would be better to add a stylistic set that turns off the long-tailed “Q” instead of having to turn of calt.

This is more or less planned for v2. Both alternances are not historical, at least I haven't seen them so far. In case of these two letters, the long tailed Q and the long bowed f are the originals.

I'm going to implement a switch in cvXX rather than ssXX as it's a single character thing and the stylistic sets are very limited.
