Diacritics issue: below accents not auto-generated

Hello! When trying to generate signs that have a below accent, unlike all other signs with diacritics, these ones aren’t auto-generated at all. Is that how it is supposed to be ? Or am I missing something ?

(Auto-alignment is enabled and I have already placed bottom & _bottom anchors on my letters + diacritics)

That probably means that you don’t have the appropriate mark glyphs to generate the composites from.

For adotbelow, you need a dotbelowcomb glyph. I’m not sure about the macronbelow, but I assume something like macronbelowcomb. You can check the composition recipes in your GlyphData.xml file.

Also, check your adieresismacron, it looks like your accents are both at the same height instead of stacked on top of each other. Did you add a top anchor to your marks (in addition to _top)?
