Hi David, Thank you for your reply and volunteering to make the changes. Here is a link to a stand-alone example data set. Please make sure to change the paths in the input file *p08_in.xml* and the taxonomy file *prokaryote.xml* to point to your download location.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/exlp1c2czwqa56c/AACFtEmukZzP9GNEpAXl7SCsa?dl=0 I agree with your proposed changes. Tandem2XML should look for user-specified residue masses in its input file (in this example *p08_n15.xml*, which is the output from X!Tandem) under the group labeled "residue mass parameters" (usually listed at the end of the file) and only if this group, or certain residue masses within it, are absent then fall back to the default values. Thanks again for your help and please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
