What is wrong with the defaults? From ?adonis: Usage: adonis(formula, data, permutations = 5, method = "bray", strata = NULL, contr.unordered = "contr.sum", contr.ordered = "contr.poly", ...) So look at ?contr.sum and ?contr.poly for what constrasts adonis uses by default. If you want something different, then supply "contr.helmert" or "contr.treatment", "contr.sum", or "contr.poly" to the relevant argument in your adonis call. If you want your own "special" contrasts, then I presume they make sense in the context of the analysis? But for that you'll need to write your own function to calculate the constrasts you want, along the lines of contr.sum() or one of the other contrast functions.
