Hi ,

i just tried the extra information because I had a serious "overfitting" of my 
model. Roughly 10 % difference for 1.9 Ang. resolution and experimantal 
phasing. I thought maybe the extra information and the adjustment of the 
weighting parameters helps me to figure this out. A refinement using the 
experimental phases brings indeeed  R values to a more reasonable difference   
(5 %). To be honest. I adjusted also the weight manually to a more stringent 
value (0,1 weighting term). I am not sure what of the both adjustments was the 
more important one, but after an adjustment of the model I could probably do 
the rest of the refinement without the additional phase information.
For the record the my sharp Arp/Warp had already a difference of roughly 10 % 
and had already some overfitting. 
It  was a bit strange for me but I thought it will be resolve during the 
manual model adjustment and refinement. 
I probably made a lot of wrong decisions in the beginning, but  I have learned 
a lot at the end for the next structures; I hope at least. 

Thanks for for this interesting disussion.
