thank you for your answer. `\overline` works as you say, but it looks
typographically different in the respect that the bar is closer to the
letter, which of course solves the issue for the inline fraction. For α
this looks quite strange in my eyes. But I do not know a lot about
typography.

IIRC, \overline is meant for long entities, like \overline{(a+b)}. For single letters, it is better to use the accent \bar.
