Hi Eric,

I'm sorry, if it's a little bit confusing. Theoretically I can rebuild the 
spectral libraries but it will be difficult to get all pepxml files. So I 
just want to know if it is risky to take this mixed approach.

It seems to be a thing of the mix up of older and newer spectrast version, 
because if I built a spectral library myself fully with spectraST 5.0 there 
are no m ion annotations no matter which import parameters I use. So, even 
if these m ions are more plausible they don't occur if I built it from the 
scratch.

Also it's interesiting that these changes only occur during import from 
splib files, not from msp files. Further, libraries with m ion annotations 
change "back" to the m ion free annotation if they are imported from msp 
files.

*(3) after reimport (2) only from msp file (w or w/o -cM parameter):*

Name: AAAALILAGLVADGK/2
301.6790 347.0 y6^2/0.000,y3-17/-0.456,y3-18/0.528 48/44 0.0057|0.58

341.2183 726.1 ? 59/44 0.0060|0.42

All steps were done with the same version of spectraST. Especially the 
first line: where the software gets the information about the other 
alternative fragment types (the msp file was the only file in directory)?
I'm sorry if this is confusing but I just want to understand what is 
happening during the processes.

Thank you very much for your patience!
Kind regards,
Kristina
