Yes we did.
What I understand is that "after first aligning the target structure to the
current coordinates" means that the fitted atoms selection is used for the
alignment and RMS is caluclated for the biased atoms. This is actually our
issue. Currently, it seems not to do it. This brings us to two options
either we do something wrong or the code is actually not doing what we
think it does (as explained above and in the earlier email)
