This chart is very helpful to me. Thank you.

Would these accents be a viable way to communicate the intent in pointing an English text for chant (if accompanied by a key?); would it be a proper application/use of these accents?

I am applying it to the English language for which all of the above dynamics apply to some extent.

Ahhh! Thank you. You have been most helpful! I did not know non-accented refers to letters without diacritics. That brought me to realize that the diacritics themselves, if I remember correctly, mean to raise (ague) or lower (grave) ones voice. If this is true, I could use these to express what I need to!

@hippietrail would either of these be the book? books.google.com/… books.google.com/…

@hippietrail Could you point me in a direction of where I might be able to look more thoroughly into this?
