Oh, I see. Sure, when the map coefficients are already available, the further calculation does need sigmas, or even Fo's/Fc's. I think the practical question Fransisco asked comes to this: If you have no SIGFP column in the input mtz-file, REFMAC will by default fail (phenix probably won't - at least I've seen datasets where all the sigmas were reset to 1.00 and it didn't change the output a bit). So one naturally things that sigmas are needed/used in map calculation. Again in practical terms, just remove the SIGFP from LABIN and it works, because refmac can do it both ways.
