Hi Vincent,<div>The output you show has the following meaning:</div><div><br></div><div>The reindexing of the miller indices of (-k,-h,-l) of the P1 data gives you data in the space group "<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.731481552124023px">C 1 2 1 (x-y,x+y,z)</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.731481552124023px">". This is a special (no lattice translations) version of C2 that can be set to the standard setting by applying the transformation </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.731481552124023px">(x-y,x+y,z) to the cell. This will subsequently reindex your miller indices as well.</span></div>

The change of basis matrix stuck at the back of the standard symbol indicates which transformation is required to get it back to the traditional setting. INstead of specifying it in x,y,z, you can also make specify the COB on the unit cell basis vectors. This allows you to do fun things like P1 (2a,b,c) to describe the space group P1 with added operator (x+1/2,y,z), i.e. if you would incorrectly index your data.</font></div>
