[phenixbb] WAS: changing TLS groups mid refinement

[Peter Zwart]

Hi Phil,

Can you redo the exercise but get your intensities like this:

phenix.reflection_file_converter mysca.sca --massage-intensities
--write_mtz_amplitudes  --mtz_root_label=FM  \
--mtz=massage.mtz

You did use the common set of miller indices for R value computation, right?

Cheers,

P
