You can get apparent twinning if neighbouring spots are overlapped in any direction, and that may be worse with a home source with larger beam divergence. In that case a weak reflection may be corrupted by a neighbouring strong reflection, leading to intensity statistics characteristic of

There was indeed a bug for which I apologise. It is fixed in version 0.3.11 which will be filtering through CCP4 updates in due course. In the mean time if you get this bug you will have to revert to an earlier version (0.3.6 or earlier I think), or you can get it (Linux version) from

I should make the estimation in Aimless more robust, and curve fitting sounds like a good idea (but what function?). Outliers are a difficult problem, but anyway I think you should look at the curve and not just the number estimated. I would look at I/sigI as well, and anisotropy to decide the

OK I guess Pointless is accepting the number as given in the reference file, rather than changing it. If Pointless is just determining the space group it does give the correct (i.e. weird CCP4 convention) number * Space group = 'P 2 21 21' (number 3018) I'm not sure how to test this as I

I2 and C2 are different settings of the same group. The official IUCr convention is to use the one which gives the beta angle closer to 90 degrees. As far as I know all programs should now be able to use the I2 setting, but if it worries you, you can reindex to C2 Phil On 21 May 2014, at
