Can't edit cresc./dim text to più, with accent mark
US keyboard, accent marks via regular means are beyond me. The text line editor in the pallet has B,I, and U options, but no alpha/special chars.

you can use that character here, use the same method to add it there?
Or just press F2 and grab the character from there

F2 doesn't work when editing line text. I resort to creating a staff text, insert the character, copy it and paste it. Terrible workaround but it works.

I did what Mike did to get it here. And to fix it in line text. It's... not good. And I can confirm, F2 doesn't work.
Another way in Windows is to copy & paste with the character map.
That's how I edited this line.

I have no idea how exactly to do JoJo's method. I understand F2, but how do you call it from within the line editing dialog?

Not from the line edit dialog apparently :-(
It's the same issue we've long face for the copyright symbol in the Create New Score wizard or in Score Properties - if your particular OS / keyboard doens't provide a way to enter special characters, you're out of luck. Most do, but some dont', and even for those that do, not everyone nows about them (eg, Alt+Numeric0169 on many Windows systems). So far no one has come up with a real good solution, though.
