spot overlap results in inaccurate intensity values. Inaccurate intensities 
result in high Rwork/Rfree.

Why do the spots overlap? High mosaicity? Detector distance too small? 
Oscillation range too high (0.1° is typically adequate)?

It would be good to see the data, otherwise we can only speculate.

Space group does not change from one frame to the next. If you use XDS, a good 
guide to decide between higher and lower-symmetry space groups is to compare 
their ISa values.

best,
Kay
