Here, then, is an MWE that uses the mtpro2 package to place a ridiculously wide tilde over both abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (ooooh!). In the macro, this is multiplied by wd0, the argument width, to indicate how tall a scaled sim would have to be to horizontally stretch over the width of the argument. I also calculated the aspect ratio of the trimmed sim as. Put differently: Just because the mtpro package lets you create certain questionable things (such as super-tall summation symbols and super-wide tildes) doesn't mean that you have to do them. This was added into the macro, so that the tilde would not be offset left or right relative to the argument. This warning applies not only to using super-tall summation symbols it certainly applies to super-wide tilde and hat symbols as well. thereby assuring yourself (as well as the designer of the MathTime fonts) the lasting enmity of journal editors everywhere. The rules for producing characters with diacritical marks, such as accents, differ somewhat depending whether you are in text mode, math mode, or the tabbing.

The font's creator issues the following warning regarding the use of such a symbol:

First, though, some comments about this package: In addition to letting you do lots of really cool and useful things, this package also allows you create a summation symbol that's a full two inches (5 centimeters) tall.

An MWE (minimum working example) that shows how to do this is given below.

You could load the mtpro2 (Mathtime Pro 2) to generate superwide tildes.
