I think that you are thinking all 10 residues for a different reason than I was thinking. I was thinking that there were two ranges from 1-5. You were thinking of one range that ran fromm the first 1 to the last 5. > > Q: If I say 'select 2-3' should 4 residues be selected? > > > This is even more complicated, because you have 3 alternatives: > 2 or 4 or 7 residues Correct. Jmol today will return 2 in this case because the implementation assumes that residue numbers are unique. > It raises the additional question if the range should be considered as > local (2,3 and 2,3) or as global (2,3,4,5,1,2,3). > > As a default I would expect it to be considered as local and greedy. OK Well that is the answer that will give you the behavior you want with the file that caused all these problems. I will see what I can do.
