Current version does not expand data or model. C222 twinned in P2 will not be handled if data are in C222. Overmerged data are a bit tricky to deal with. And model in higher space group would not fit into the asymmetric unit in general.

In short: in the current version space group should be actual space group and model should correspond to it. We are working with on a procedure to deal with overmerged data. Meanwhile ZANUDA from YSBL webserver
www.ysbl.york.ac.uk/YSBLPrograms/index.jsp

can be used to sort out space group if you have accidentally overmerged and managed to solve structure at higher space group

Hi Pavol, Garib

Actually, that bit of doc doesn't answer a few practical questions we keep running into:

1) What spacegroup should you provide the data in? The usual scenario, in practice, is that one merges in too high symmetry, and wants to check whether it is actually lower symmetry with twinning.

2) What spacegroup should the *model* be?  The highest symmetry?
3) What exactly is refmac doing: is it expanding the model to the lower symmetries starting from your model? 4) Will it also test for the "funny" ones (e.g. C222 which is actually P2 twinned).

Cheers

Dear Kim,
yes, Refmac handles pseudo-merohedral twinning. The procedure is fully automatic and there is not much to change but the documention can be found
