    A suggestion: Do us a favour and change your username to something more telling than "user1234". Commented Jan 22, 2014 at 4:47
  • I hope I do not misunderstand you. Take a look whether this helps: mathabx and mathtools: \widetilde{} and \dot{} problem. Commented Jan 22, 2014 at 4:50

    Which font (family) do you use? In some font families -- though not Computer/Latin Modern -- the widetilde/widehat "accents" are indeed quite prominent. If you use CM/LM fonts, your mixed approach -- small accents over lowercase letters and wide accents over uppercase letters -- should be OK. If you have any misgivings about risking confusion among your readers, just provide a paragraph somewhere early on in the document explaining any notational conventions feel explaining.

    @Mico Thank you. After some research it looks like I am using Computer Modern (This was surprisingly difficult laborious on a Mac). If you would like to put this as an answer, I will be happy to select it. I will make an effort to update my username in a timely fashion, but I have to leave for now. Commented Jan 22, 2014 at 13:29
