Hmm, I'm not seeing this. I tried the following sound changes:
Feature type(*consonant, vowel)
Feature height(low, mid, high)
Feature frontness(front, central, back)
Feature +hightone
Diacritic ́ [+hightone]
Symbol e [mid front vowel]
Symbol ə [mid central vowel]
centering:
[front mid vowel] => [central mid vowel]
And the results looked as expected, with the tone diacritic on top of the schwa. (See screenshot.)
Can you try these exact changes and see if you get the same result?
Thank you, I figured out that it's just a problem with my computer displaying it.
When I ran a sound change like this [front mid vowel] => [central mid vowel] that affected a vowel with a tone diacritic already applied, e.g. é, the tone diacritic becomes detached from the vowel. For example, é => ə ́. This does affect sound changes down the line.
