Hi David,

Many thanks for your reply.

So it any peptides with modifications will simply be ignored for 
quantification and I can ignore the warning message?

Yes - each search was either light or heavy as defined in the static 
modifications. 

And the -r parameter is then the window to search in the RT dimension? 
Because the command line option says 'range around precursor m/z to search 
for peak' I assumed this was for the m/z dimension. I thought that the 
shift of the peak would also mostly be in the m/z dimension - but I'm no 
mass spectrometrist!

I would be amazing if you had a moment to have a look at the data - thanks 
very much for offering. I've put two example pairs of files 
here: https://we.tl/t-cVDD1MVDOr 

For each sample there is a light 'L' version of the search results and a 
heavy 'H' version. I've also included the search database (based on some 
PacBio data some I'm afraid it's quite big with a lot of isoforms).

Many thanks,
Alastair
