I would be grateful for any advice on how to obtain refmac information equivalent in detail to the shelxl "Disagreeable restraints before cycle N" listing. In the later stages of refining a set of related structures, I have been alternating between shelxl and refmac. Typically this relies on shelxl for occupancy assignment of alternate conformations and associated partially occupied solvent, followed by refmac on the shelxl result to improve bulk solvent modeling. Most of the time this two step approach works well and yields an improvement in the final model. However occasionally the refmac step heads in the opposite direction:

                      Initial    Final
           R factor    0.1156   0.1390
             R free    0.1192   0.1477
     Rms BondLength    0.0108   0.0110
      Rms BondAngle    1.3876   1.8731
     Rms ChirVolume    0.1147   0.0979

This seems to happen rather erratically relative to changes in the model and I've been unable to determine which restraints/weights are responsible.
Thanks for any pointers,
