I need to add a vertical bar above and below a few letters. I'm using the tipa package, and it works as long as that's the only package I load. I also need to load polyglossia to type a few foreign characters. But when I do, I lose the functionality from tipa (the vertical bars no longer appear). Here's a minimal example that works

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tipa}

\begin{document}
\textvbaraccent{S}
\textsyllabic{S}
\end{document}

Here's an example that fails to produce the vertical bars

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{polyglossia}

\begin{document}
\textvbaraccent{S}
\textsyllabic{S}
\end{document}

If I load polyglossia before tipa, then I get the following error message: '! LaTeX Error: Command \sups already defined. Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.'

I'm running Texmaker on windows 8, using XelaTex

Edit: I also tried restoring the computer modern fonts for IPA as suggested in this post Using TIPA with fontspec

The problem is that tipa has issues with fontspec, not polyglossia. Joseph Wright's answer to a related question should make things right.
