Apologies if this is a repeat.

I am trying to make use of the "user" field in having a dynamic
representation that changes at each time step. This is just a simple
boolean that turns off or on a small set of atoms as part of a larger
selection.

How does one assign a time series to the user field? For each atom I
have a Tcl list with size equal to the number of DCD frames, but the
following does not seem to work:

% set myProperty <list of size equal to numframes>
% set sel [atomselect <selection for a single atom>]
% $sel set user $myProperty

Is "user" not a time dependent property by default? The help message for
"atomselection set" does not seem to indicate any further keywords to
flag that.
