Dear Rus,

Hamish McWilliam passed on your request (attached
below) to us in the EMBOSS team.

Can you fill us in on what you "really need" ... for
example the kind of score
you would like to plot, and some example alignments.

Personally, I was never quite satisfied with the score
PlotSimilarity used.

EMBOSS has several algorithms for calculating the
consensus (in prettyplot for
example) which we could adapt and use to calculate
scores for a plot.

regards,

Peter Rice
