Hi Patrick,

why don't you superimpose only the matching segments and report their
RMSD? It is the common procedure for RMSD's from superpositions to
report the aligned residues together with the RMSD.

The advantage compared to a map CC is similar to that of R_sym over
R_meas: readers have a better concept (from experience) of what the
numbers mean.

Best,
Tim
