The I values output by TRUNCATE are usually not changed so as long as they are kept in the output file you lose no information - the F values are "truncated" since you cannot take the square root of a negative intensity..

The change of index in going from the integrated h k l to one within the expected asymmetric unit may well be different for SLALEPACK and for the default mtz file, but it makes no difference to any crystallographic calculation which equivalebt reflection is chosen. The FreeRflags will not be changed of course.

eg if P63 the reflections ( h k l ) (k,-h-k, l) (-h-k,h,l) etc etc are all equivalent but if one has a FreeRflag set to 0, then they all will.

a file containing
h k l I(+)
-h -k -l I(-)


That's what I meant. However, another reply suggested that the intensities in the MTZ file wouldn't be the same if they'd been run through TRUNCATE, as these were. I don't know enough about data processing to understand why.

It would actually be trivial to convert from the scalepack file to SHELX format. What I'm more concerned with is this: how do indexing conventions change between formats? I've done this before in P63 and P212121 and the reflection list in the MTZ file is not the same as in the scalepack file. As a result, I have no idea how to synchronize the Rfree flags.

thanks,
Nat
