the p�li-accents are easily done this way (as Tex, i.e. ERT):
\={a} for the long-a as in anapana (and etc.)

Well, I forgot to mention the special case of the "i". If you want an accent above the "i" without the i-dot, then you have to use \i instead of i, i.e.: \={\i} for the long-i as in piti.
One question, where I�ve not found a solution until now, are "double
accents" (accent over an accent over a character), which are sometimes
found in p�li or sanskrit. Any suggestion for this?
Math mode allows that. Math is clunky for writing text, but you can stack as many accents as you wish. Press control m, and write your letter in math mode. Bring up the math panel (insert->math->mathpanel)
Letters in math mode is italic by default, you can fix that with
the "set math font" button in the math panel. (The one with a lot of A's on it.)
Then select the text, and apply an accent. Select the text (and accent), and apply
another accent above it.
(Another way, click all the accents you want, top to bottom, then write the
desired character under the stack of accents.)
Note that math mode allows several character under one decoration (accent
or line). Some decorations (lines, horizontal braces, arrows) stretch to accomodate
this. Real accents like ' or " don't, they get centered above the word if you accidentally
do this.
