I got no problem changing labels. In d*TREK dtscaleaverage one column is the mean I/sigma(I) of the input observations, one column is the mean I/sigma(I) of the output unique reflections. This is clearly stated in the output and one does not have to read the manual. I believe these are identical to SCALA’s columns and do convey useful information.


I clearly agree, that all that info convey useful information. SCALA as well as clearly document these as well. My point was mostly that XDS and SCALA use the same 'shorthand' to report different things, which is confusing.

I then thought that if Phil changes labels as he was willing, it could be good if all of you guys would agree in one label
for the same thing... Up to you of course!

I will now start thinking of a good April 1 email ...

        Best, Tassos
