Well, I would find the Engraver ligature unacceptable, because it 
messes up the baseline for the font, even when used at the same size 
as the text you are using. And, really, to be the correct size for 
text, it needs to be 24 points, or, at least, significantly larger 
than the text. 

The Toccata ligature is sized appropriately for use inline with text, 
so is much easier to use.

There's no reason for you to not have it, as it's a shareware font 
and can be downloaded for free here:

http://www.efn.org/~bch/AboutFonts.html

It has both Mac and Windows versions, so I see no reason why you 
shouldn't have it -- it (along with its companion, Fughetta) has got 
lots of useful symbols in it and was explicitly designed for use with 
Finale.
