I see. I guess it would only make sense, if any, in very few cases, like
if there is a six-fold NCS parallel to a crystallographic 2-fold or
4-fold, i.e. if the non-crystallographic axis runs parallel to a
crystallographic one of lower symmetry (if the inverse is true, then
Phoebe's point about reflections being already crystallographically
related would apply).

Thank you for your explanation, Ethan.
Cheers,



Miguel
