[Q] Double superscript with overbar

Well, it it TeX 3.14159, and it is TeX that is causing you grief.
Math accents are "invisible" for the purpose of superscripting
so that \hat{a}^2 will look decent. But this means double
superscripts are illegal, just like obvious double superscripts:
\hat{a^2}^2 is like a^2^2. What is completely annoying is that
adding extra braces doesn't help (Extra levels of braces are
tripped away if TeX thinks they are superfluous, but it is overly
ready to call them superfluous.)
>{{\bar{x}}^\mu}^\top
{\overline{x}^\mu}^\top
or
\bar{x}^{\mu\top}
or
{\/\bar{x}^\mu}^\top

Put {} before \bar. That is,
{{}\bar{x}^\mu}^\top
This question was asked a while ago, and Donald Arseneau, I believe,
answered it.

I am trying to achieve a double superscript on a symbol with an overbar,
but LaTeX 3.14159 (C version 6.1) doesn't like it.
I have tried
{{\bar{x}}^\mu}^\top
and many variants like putting everything in {} etc, but it keeps
spitting it back out at me.
I can do the double superscript alone:
{x^\mu}^\top
but I need that overbar!
Any helpful suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
John
