NMR Spectrum / ORCA 6.x .out file peak arithmetic looks way off

[mkedwards]

Describe the bug
File Info sees correct chemical shifts from ORCA 6.0.0 output file. Reference-adjusted data displayed in NMR Spectrum plot appears to have been scaled nonsensically.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open .out file from ORCA NMR run containing chemical shifts
2. Select menu item "Tools/SEQCROW/File Info"
3. Inspect NMR shifts data, confirm that .out file has been read in properly
4. Select menu item "Tools/Quantum Chemistry/NMR Spectrum"
5. Go to "shift scaling" tab, check that alpha is -1, set delta_ref appropriately (for me, 31.613 based on TMS modeling)
6. Go to "plot" tab, press home button
7. Observe chemical shifts wildly out of range

Expected behavior
Display accurate 1-D plot of (delta_reference - computed chemical shift).

Screenshots

Structure:
The .out file is available upon request, but I don't think it's anything special.

Additional context
ChimeraX 1.8, SEQCROW 1.8.14

I don't know why this has six labels; I don't think I added any of them. It's a bug, unless I'm doing something wrong.

could you send the .out file? I'd like to take a closer look at this case

That tarball has the .inp, .xyz, and .out files in it (not in a directory; sorry).

[ajs99778]

Thanks for sending the .out file. I've taken a quick look, and this is an issue where our NMR data parser doesn't know how to handle post-HF methods. The NMR shielding data is getting printed for the SCF, and MP2 twice (unrelaxed and relaxed density). The parser is reading all of these,, and they all get combined, but then only divided by the number of equivalent nuclei when averaging the shifts. The result is all shifts are about 3x more than they should be. I'll get working on a fix for that.

Can I help?

[ajs99778]

I should be able to fix this pretty quickly. There are a few other things I want to work on this evening, but once those are done I'll get started. Would you want to be able to see the NMR data for each of the three different methods, or just the last one in the file (MP2 with relaxed density)? It would be pretty easy to parse that data, but adding UI options to choose which one might take a bit more time.

[mkedwards]

Probably just need to insert a bit of code here:
https://github.com/QChASM/AaronTools.py/blob/master/spectra.py#L2185
that drops the array contents every time you hit a CHEMICAL SHIELDINGS line. It's the last dataset (Relaxed density) that matters.

Incidentally, I love SEQCROW; it's the only tool out there that does what I need done. I'm excited to see the splittings it generates given the J-coupling data I'm computing now.
