Dear Alastair,

As you point out, SHELXL allows atom names, RESIdue numbers and PARTs (=Altlocs) to be used in any combination. The only rule is that no two non-hydrogen atoms may have the same settings for all three. Other refinement programs may be more restrictive.

Best wishes, George

thanks Tim. I have been using different "AltLoc" values (A,B) and different "Atom name" values (HOH,CA) but the problem seems to be which value to set for the "Residue name" field. Assigning different residues numbers would seem to lose the distinction between partial and alternate occupancy. The ins file seems to have no problem with the pattern
RESI CA
PART 1
CA ..
PART 2
O ..
PART 0
