Just to understand, what is your necessity for changing the CNS reflection file back to MTZ each time?

If you have to do it, I think the TNT example (of splitting the Rfree and working sets and to later add the final column to the output reflection file) might be useful.

I have used MTZ2VARIOUS successfully for CCP4 mtz to CNS reflection file conversion. This way the CCP4 nomenclature, i.e., flag 0=Rfree can be maintained even in the output CNS reflection file.

My problem is that the conversion is not bidirectional, and I need to convert CNS files *back* to MTZ and then use those MTZ files. This is clumsy but in theory it does exactly what I need - except that f2mtz does not keep the values in the CNS file - it assumes that test=1 is the set for Rfree and converts these to 0. (Actually, it converts any value other than 1 to 0, which gives me a 95% test set.) I have always used both programs (CNS mainly for omit maps) and thus all of the CNS scripts I use already have been modified to use test=0.

I solved this by making a copy of my CNS file and converting it to use the "standard" CNS/XPLOR convention, which f2mtz imports properly.
