  Hi Brandon,

you can do it - see two previous replies. If you still have any 
questions or problems then you can send me a PDB file, explain what and 
how you want to refine (point out relevant atoms, and how their 
occupancies are expected to be coupled), and then I will send you back a 
working example.

Pavel.
