Hi Anton,
Pardon me if I’m duplicating a previous answer, but I didn’t see one…

There are various scores available via the AACon web service connected to 
Jalview as described here:
<http://www.jalview.org/help/html/webServices/AACon.html>

The Valdar paper cited in that page describes the options in more detail.  Some 
of the scores are SP or very SP-like.  I don’t recall seeing sub-options in the 
AACon dialog, so for some of these it may not be obvious which substituation 
matrix is used.  The Valdar paper is here:
<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/prot.10146/full>

Since I’m a Chimera person, I’ll also plug that program (very briefly, I know 
this is the JalView list!).  Chimera can calculate sum-of-pairs conservation 
via the embedded AL2CO method, and you have your choice of a dozen or so 
different substitution matrices and what proportion of gaps are tolerated in a 
column.  It can’t handle as large alignments as JalView can, however.   The 
conservation values are easily/automatically mapped to any structures 
associated with the alignment.  Tutorial example:

Best,
Elaine
