Mkii or Mkiv? I'm surprised you get any meaningful output at all. What I
would suggest:
1. Use proper unicode input. The two glyphs you want are in OldStandard
as 1x1FB0 and 1x1FB1. (I can paste them into this mail, but it's always
a risk whether this will be mangled by a mail agent: ᾰ ᾱ)
2. You can also use regular ConTeXt constructs:
\buildtextaccent\textmacron α}
\buildtextaccent\textbreve α}
I would advise (strongly) against using ASCII transliteration; this is
essentially a leftover from the 1980s, which should have died with the
floppy disk and the dot matrix printer...
HTH
