Hi Esther, We do want to put in the ability to grab labels and move them around with the mouse, but we haven't done it yet. We should also probably make it easier to get residues on non-CA atoms. That will probably happen in a release or possibly two. In the interim, here is a trick to get the residue label off the CA for a model (say, model #1): show #1@cb rl #1 disp #1 The labels will be on the CBs for model 1. Obviously, this trick is going to wear thin if you have 10 models superimposed because you are going to run out of distinct atoms in the residues. But for 2-3 models it would probably work okay.

Hi,
I am working with structure superposition and I have noticed that labelling relevant residues when two structures or more are superimposed is a bit of a nightmare. As the labels go to C-alpha in all cases it is very difficult to see anything. I would suggest to allow the user to change the default and be able to establish particular positions for labels, as well as the distance from the relevant atom. For example, label all selected residues in one chain at 0.1 angstroms from the CG atom and all of the second chain at 0.2 (in X or Y). Or maybe just been able to change the minimum distance between labels in all directions.
Thanks,
Esther
