Some languages like spanish uses accents on letters but often they are not typed when searching. Same for french é or è. The instrument filter in the new score wizard or the instrument list should ignore accents.

It would be great to have tests for this feature to make sure it works with non latin (russian, greek, hebrew, chinese).

Used regex expressions to go through diacritic characters and replace them with English characters - used a list of the most common vowel diacritics and accented versions of 'y', 'c', and 'n'
