Dear Eleanor

Try submitting it to the STARANISO server?  That does a whole slew of
twinning tests (so you can take your pick from sometimes totally different
twin fractions from the various tests!).  Also it gives you the twin
fraction rather than having you understand how to use the tests!  But I
agree that the L test is one of the best, and the server uses a variant of
it which gives more accurate estimates of the twin fraction.

Cheers
