instead of the the default (7000. 30000.). This gives a good mask for the beamstop shadow.

Other than that, the three MAD wavelengths can be processed once with default parameters, as written into [[XDS.INP]] by [[generate_XDS.INP]]. This data reduction therefore proceeds in spacegroup P1. After that,
It turns out that the spot shapes are actually so irregular that XDS stops after the IDXREF step, with a long warning message. This is because it cannot index (within default error margins) enough reflections (50% is the cutoff). When that occurs, one simply continues with the step after IDXREF:
JOBS= DEFPIX INTEGRATE CORRECT
 
Other than that, the three MAD wavelengths can be processed once with default parameters, as written into [[XDS.INP]] by [[generate_XDS.INP]]. This data reduction therefore proceeds in spacegroup P1, but the correct spacegroup (22) is identified by CORRECT.
 
Optimization: after this first data reduction pass, I use the "post-refined" geometric parameters, and the correct spacegroup (as given in CORRECT.LP, and written to GXPARM.XDS), for a second pass. Thus I need to
  mv GXPAM.XDS XPARM.XDS
  mv GXPAM.XDS XPARM.XDS
and another (optimized) integration pass should be performed, after setting
and modify XDS.INP to read
  JOBS= INTEGRATE CORRECT
  JOBS= INTEGRATE CORRECT
This second pass proceeds in the correct spacegroup (22) which was identified by CORRECT at the end of the first pass.
Afterwards, another xds_par run gives the final intensities. Repeating this optimization sometimes helps.
