... diacritics look great in the text line! ..in iOS and Web Editor it may not be possible.

Hello Norman,
I used 9Chars app on my ipad to input. In testing on my ipod touch, the dots are quite small. I am currently researching information for preparing Nashville charts so have been looking at glyphs in the past few weeks for a some of their specialized notations.
I am not sure using these specialized characters will work with the web editor, with backups via email, in the future etc. (even now our song code can sometimes get corrupted) so we need to be careful using them. If there are workarounds using normal text (like you have, using the comma etc.) then they are likely to be more stable.
My example (previous post) does not import into the web editor.
For important iReal b charts, they could be exported as jpg once completed, so at least they still can be seen!

In your 1742 project,

you refer to Part one. Is there a Part two?

The second part of Rousseau's project talks about time signatures, the comma for separating beats in a measure, the 0 for a rest and adding rhythmic detail with lines above or below the numbers. Some of his manuscripts (18th century) have numbered changes (not figured bass) below the melody line, very similar to Nashville notation.
