Hi! Be careful with LeBail. There is a paper (I can send it to you) showing, that this method may give some errors (so is probably also for Pawley method).
Best regards! Btw: preferred orientation should not influence the c parameter, but the intensity of an reflection. It can be influenced by sample displacement or (detector or XRD plane) zero shift, and of course due to impurities. Try Rietveld. Good luck! L.
