Dear Kay,

Thank you very much for your reply. It prints an error message, a couple of
them, return code = ier 0, or that there was an insufficient number of
reflections for indexing/ refinement did not converge.

Is it possible that due to the pseudocentering, the indexing is proceeding
in such a way that the found unit cell is actually smaller than the real
one? Using the same unit cell parameters that I obtain for space group 21,
doesn't work when I try to process in space groups 23 or 24.

Best,

Almudena
