[phenixbb] twin/pseudo-symmetry question

yes,

you should be able to use the obverse/reverse twin law when you refine
in the hexagonal setting.

Do the intensity statistics indicate that data is twinned though?

Your C2 refinement with its low r value can be due to bias if the free
set hasnt been chosen carefully.

For C2, it was generated from the C2 processed scalepack file but in ccp4 using the scalepack2mtz script then imported to phenix(because i used molrep for the molecular replacement). But, I kept this same data file with the same r-free for all of the refinement runs before and during twin refinement. Seem reasonable?
