Hello,
I'm new to the group and just want to say "hi". I look forward to learning
more of the secrets and intricacies of Rietveld. I'm a TOPAS user so
anything geared to that topic will be especially interesting.

I dont know your chemical system but my first thought is that assuming

That's right. The assumption was made just to simplify discussion; in
reality of course there were no assumptions. By the way in that particular
case it is possible to refine more that 1 occupancy (Ni/Li), e.g. total

It sounds like you were able to refine on the occupancies without
physically unreasonable site occupancies. I am also sure that you have
simplified the discussion for clarity. This is fine but I would add as a
hint to Alexander that making a number of series of samples can assist
greatly in
That's right, doing series of samples brings great confidence that
everything was done right (of course if there is agreement the series),
especially when you are approaching border line of the possible, which may
be the case here since 4-5% of transition metal is only 1 electron.

IMHO, it's not a good idea to introduce independent peaks with refinable
positions, intensities, shapes and other parameters, simply to reduce your
R-factor or save time. You risk reducing the confidence you can have in
your structural parameters.
That is why Rietveld defined the background rather

Here is a way to fit independent peaks in FullProf :
1. edit .pcr file and add for every independent peak an artificial phase
to treat in Profile Matching refinement mode (Jbt=2 and Irf=0). You can
use P m m m space group for example and adjust the a parameter to fit
