Hi Wojtek,

you need to convert your EM map into a reflection file (for example, cns or
mtz formatted, format doesn't matter). This reflection file should contain
"Fobs" - the amplitudes of Fourier map coefficients and phases
corresponding to your EM map. The phases should be presented as
Hendrickson-Lattmann coefficients (in this case only A and B will be
non-zero, and C=D=0). Them phenix.refine should deal with this all right.

I think the problem you face stems from the fact that when you convert your
EM map into a reflection file the "Fobs" you get are complex values (or
pairs: amplitude Fobs and phase PHobs), which phenix.refine would not take
as observations.

If you send me the file (off-list !) I may offer more comments.
