Dear all,
I have a question about the consensus process. I got four spectral 
libraries with consensus spectra, combined them into one spectral library 
and applied the consensus building again on the new library. Usually I 
would expect that library entries which occur in only one library are 
untouched by the consensus building but I found some examples which are 
slightly changed, nonetheless.
Here two examples where some peaks changed from unknown fragments to known 
ones and vice versa:

*Example 1:*
