How to center accents over glyphs

Hi: How do I center for example acute.case over the letter A? I’m in doubt how to use anchors …

What’s your ideal visual of the centred position in the case of Á? I’m asking because people’s preference vary when it comes to this and similarly pointy ones like Í.

In the A, centre the top anchor. Then type ÁÓÍ/acutecomb.case (the letters have the correct components). In the acutecomb.case, move the anchor until you are happy. For me that always worked perfectly. The acute and grave is not geometrically centred but the offset can be the same for all combination.

Thanks! What shall I name the sc-accents? NNcomb.sc?

yes.
