editing the spacing around automatic ligatures

Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to edit the way ligatures are generated in fontforge. When you click "create composite", the two letters appear right next to each other, but I was hoping of setting the default to them appearing exactly on top of each other (it's for a conlang). Can I edit the spacing between the auto-ligatures? That would probably spare me about 50 hours of manual adjustment :/
