Eleanor is correct, if the intensities are (still) in the mtz file, they should be good. The problems arises when you use TRUNCATE to turn them into F and then the current MTZ2VARIOUS with the FSQUARED keyword to square them again, this degrades sigI.

If you use XPREP to transfer the free R flags, it will take symmetry equivalent reflections into account to synchronize the free R flags so you don't have to worry about indexing conventions or reflection order, at least when using SHELX.

Truncate does not change intensities, only amplitudes. (Why should it? )

  Eleanor
The mtzvarious output will have what you want..
h k l I+
-h -k -l I-

a file containing

-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
