Hi Susan,

Feature maps have different possible scoring modes:
https://github.com/rdkit/rdkit/blob/master/rdkit/Chem/FeatMaps/FeatMaps.py#L15

The default mode - All - scores each point in the probe set against every
point in the feature map, so the maximum possible score is not capped at 1.0
If you switch the scoring mode to Closest or Best, you'll end up with a max
average score (what is being calculated in that notebook) of 1.0[1]

-greg
[1] The max value of 1.0 is only because in this case all feature weights
are 1.0.
