Irrespective of this labour of love etc, I do doubt that vowel signs can be copyrighted.
I would think if the Van Dyke is public domain so this is , unless there are more profound revisions done. In fact all printed editions I have ever seen, have the vocalisation present, so this is not copyrightable IMHO. Just because you put your mind to getting something from paper to electrons does not create a copyright.
