It is a practical solution, yes: it prevents accidents happening should people ever use -DP:ure=yes on 454 data without having thought things through, because MIRA would then try to expand also into adaptor areas (which it then does not know of as they are not marked as adaptors). > If these two types of information were in the traceinfo.xml > file given to MIRA would it take advantage of this distinction? Yes, but then you really need a good adaptor search to add those values to the XML file. I have the feeling that this is not trivial. But if done right, you would probably be able to just use the vector clippings and drop the quality clippings altogether as -CL:pec is pretty good at finding usable base ranges.
