If I have real data -- one quad scanned to get sigmaX, and the other scanned to get sigmaY, should I use the -ignore=(x|y) argument on sddsemitproc?

In you example, both sets of quad values (Q1&Q2) were in the same file. Will the results be different if I have two files, each containing a single set of quad values?

Michael, once again thanks for your help. I tried the changes that you suggested, but I'm getting an error from elegant:

Are there any restrictions (unallowed characters) when naming the elements in the lattice?
