Capital Sharp S is just a "B"

This is "BUẞE buße" using Google Fonts Specimen:

Of course script fonts are not meant to be used in all caps, but I believe people will be using DancingScript like that anyway ;-) So the "Capital Sharp S" should be recognizably different from the "B". My first idea would be to give the main stemt a (small) decender, and have a wider gap. Something like this:

This looks more like a greek beta, but it will be deciphered much quicker than the "B" shape. There have been a lot of good articles on the possible forms of "capital sharp s" in text faces. For scripts, there is not a lot of theory yet, so you can find your own solution freely.

If a descender is not wanted, it will be harder to read. Maybe a possible solution might look something like this: image
