I managed to load TiO.struct and set the vibrations for the Ti, and it
is there for all equivalent sites so this works fine. (The button at
the top is fine; the right-mouse click does not show vibrations as an
option.)

However, I could not find a way to alter the number of unit cells
being shown without reloading the structure; is there a way of doing
this?

The alternative is to use embedded jmol scripting either in an xyz
file (to set the cell so, maybe {1 1 1} PACKED or similar will be
understood) or in a cif. I'll try this.

N.B., does a "jmolscript:" get embedded in a { } (i.e. C)?

Electron crystallography is the branch of science that uses electron
scattering to study the structure of matter.
