[phenixbb] Hydrogen occupancies

Dear all,

I'm currently refining a small protein against 0.96A data using 
phenix.refine (1.6-486) from the GUI.
Refinement without hydrogens yielded Rwork/free of 12.4/14.2. I then 
added H-atoms with phenix.reduce and switched to individual refinement 
of hydrogens which dropped the R-factors to 11.3/13.4.
After this refinement the occupancies of some hydrogens dropped to 0 
which makes me a little concerned.

See e.g.:

I would like to ask whether it is possible in phenix to group the 
occupancies to keep them at the same value as the rest of the residue 
but still refine xyz and isotropic adp of the individual hydrogens?

Thank you in advance for your answers,

Florian
