Someone here has seen his Rfactors leap from 18% to 42% and was naturally distressed! We have tracked down the problem to this: Steps he took were: 1) Integrate with XDS and feed output through pointless/aimless etc. He used a phenix refined mtz to Match Laue and indexing The space group

Eleanor Clearly the space group name when given should always override the number, since whereas there is universal agreement on what the names should be (allowing for variants such as P21 and P1211 and +/- redundant spaces), there is no universal agreement on what the numbers should be (in fact

OK I guess Pointless is accepting the number as given in the reference file, rather than changing it. If Pointless is just determining the space group it does give the correct (i.e. weird CCP4 convention) number * Space group = 'P 2 21 21' (number 3018) I'm not sure how to test this as I
