Hi David,

if your crystal is a mixture of the two molecules then I would model it
this way and turn other screws to avoid overfitting. I don't know your
resolution / cell parameters, but Refmac5 has become very stable and
robust to provide reliable results (which is frustratingly impressive
because I am writing up some protocols we carried out about two years
ago and with the current version most of the then efforts to avoid model
bias and overfitting are now in vain and can be left to the automated
weighting scheme of Refmac5).

Cheers,
Tim
