No, I'm afraid not. I've had trouble with spectral reflections,
too. In fact, for the particular application I was working on
I thought the reflections were exactly the opposite of what
they should have been. I spoke to the engineer in charge of
writing this part of the program and she indicated nothing
could be done, but that it *was* something that should be
user-controlled. She agreed to look into adding that
capability in future versions, although she made no promises.
Cheers,
David
