Hi Igor,

XDS does not define the geometry by itself; rather, the definition is specified 
by the _user_ , in XDS.INP! The trouble with improperly self-defining things is 
that one can get e.g. the wrong sign of the anomalous signal, which is why 
tested XDS.INP examples are provided.

Thus, I would redefine beam as Y and spindle as Z using:

DIRECTION_OF_DETECTOR_X-AXIS= 0 0 1  ! instead of 1 0 0
DIRECTION_OF_DETECTOR_Y-AXIS= 1 0 0  ! instead of 0 1 0
INCIDENT_BEAM_DIRECTION= 0 1 0 ! instead of 0 0 1
ROTATION_AXIS= 0 0 1 ! instead of 1 0 0

(this is a circular permutation so should be safe), and index with that. 

Finally, there is (in orthorhombic settings) a choice of 8 equivalent settings 
of the crystal.

best,

Kay
