Dear Pavel, thank you for your kind reply.
Yes, some of my students are familiar with using CCTBX and will try now the access the centric_flags method. 
However, if you think that it could also be incorporated into phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays, to be used in the upcoming downloaded versions of Phenix, it would be greatly appreciated.
With best regards,
Andre.

I'm not aware of Phenix tool to do this. However, if you use CCTBX then
you can access these flags as as a method of miller array class (called
"centric_flags").

I can help with the script if interested.

Alternatively, I can extend this quite old command line program:
phenix.reciprocal_space_arrays -- it outputs lots of this kind of
technical arrays but just not the centric/acentric flag, but I can add it.
