Thanks for the responses,

In the comet parameter file, the 'fragment_bin_tol' value is set to 1.0005 
and 'spectrum_batch_size' is set to 15000. I tried running the data using 
'spectrum_batch_size' set to 10000 but still had the same issue, which I 
think Eric has addressed. I will keep in mind to check this setting in 
future though.

Thanks Eric, I think that was the issue; the data was acquired using a DIA 
setup and not DDA. I haven't done much work with DIA data before so I will 
do some reading online and have another crack at it. 

Thanks again for your responses!
