Check, if the matrix is sensible:

1. The matrix must transform the cell into an equivalent cell.

2. The matrix must not be a symmetry operator of the Laue group of the structure.

3. The refinement of the BASF factors is reasonable (i.e. the value is in between 0 and 1 and the
     s.u. is relatively small).

4. The commands TWIN and BASF must improve the refinement.
