[phenixbb] input for specifying labin in phenix.find_ncs

Dear Dr. Terwilliger,

Its a pleasure writing to you. I have good memories of the EMBO workshop in
Grenoble last year.
As you commented, I have used combinations of HA plus mtz, mtz alone, model
alone, model and mtz. When the map coefficients come from a 2DFo-mFc
synthesis generated by phenix.refine there is no problem as phenix.find_ncs
readily detects the labels. The problem arises when I try to use an mtz
from CCP4 coming from density modification in DM or directly from phasing
as the column labels are not what the program wants. I suppose changing the
labels should do it?.
With the heavy atom and mtz case another peculiarity is that it finds
operators with cc of 0.64 from the ha sites and then moves to the map for
searching operators giving a cc above 0.8 and finally reports operators
with a cc of 0.54 ( presumably from the map). Unfortunately the ha sites
require a mtz with map coefficients to work. I was wondering if there is a
way to use the ha sites alone in phenix.find_ncs?( apart from getting the
matrix from superposition in coot or the programs in CCP4 suite)?. I was
unable to find a way from the manual. The present case is a bit tricky
because of presence of a tNCS.

Best regards,

Arko
