Dear Jeorge,

as you add water molecules to a model, the R _and_ Rfree are bound to drop.

It is important to do it the other way round: let coot add waters, then
check the added waters in coot if they make chemically sense, then run
refmac5. Don't trust automatic procedures more than your chemical
education, no matter how fancy.

At 3A I would be careful adding any waters at all, you might just fit noise.

Best,
Tim
