Let me count the ways. From the Chicago Manual of Style
Superscripts
in classical citations (indicates edition after the title).
in musical terms
for diacritical marks
+ the usual math and chemical notation where we are OK
subscripts
in musical terms
I don't think we have to do anything different, just language that more
than one discipline understands, and someplace other than the math
panel. Non mathematicians are not going to even think of going to the
math panel.
