Dear Andrea

I also experienced that the PDB cannot appreciate the 
Data_1_autoPROC_STARANISO_all.cif file due to the lack of Rfree set. 
This would be solvable, like in Refmac5 (CCP4i2), if you can upload 
second reflection file that contains the free R flags used for refinement?

- However, CCP41/Refmac5 does not (yet) read .cif reflection files. As 
far as I know, Phenix Refine does not (yet) neither.

- But Refmac5 does merge two .mtz reflection files into a sinlle 
hklout.mtz that you can find under job1 directory. This is what I 
currently use to deposit to the PDB.

- I understand .cif files (both model and reflections) have the 
advantage that they are editable. Perhaps there is a good reflection.cif 
file editor around?

- A solution would be to have the option during PDB deposition, of 
adding the reflection file used for refinement and thus containing the R 
free set, that are then automatically recognized as reflection files and 
merged (like for hklout.mtz in Refmac where this option was probably 
incorporated for re-refinement with re-processed data).

Problem today is that only one reflection file is permitted and you 
would indeed not get the correct validation report outputted.

In other words, one data file from crystal data, and another one for 
crystal refinement and including map coefficients, or like we do it in 
the lab, would allow compatibility with different ways of re-refinement 
and perhaps the independence from the EDS server (that failed on me last 
week, meaning there are no electron densities in the validation files 
and meanwhile the submission is "locked" and also no answer from the PDB 
staff yet, so what do we do: we submit the poor validation file to the 
journal and be more subject to rejection by reviewers. What I prefer, 
seen the current situation, is to send reviewers the model coordinates 
and map coefficients).

all the very best
