The twin fraction can vary during data collection - if the beam is smaller than 
the crystal
For example you could have crystals which are like two very short ends of 
pencils - with flat ends together (in your case these might pencils could be in 
P3)
In some orientations you could have the beam going through only one pencil (not 
twinned) and some orientations going through both pencils ( 50:50 twin).
This is not yet properly handled in the data processing.

Just double checking that Refmac automatically handles twinning without the 
need for a keyword or a box click in i2.  I have a crystal in P32 21 that gives 
poor Rfactors and maps (Rfree mid 40s) from what should be an excellent model. 
I have reprocessed in P32, P1 and C2 but all give similar results so it appears 
not to be hidden twinning.  There is no need to click a box or enter a keyword 
for this to be a check for twinning ?

There is severe anisotropy and a few other problems flagged up in iSPYB so 
there may be more complex problems than twinning with these crystals
