Hi Carsten,
I don't remember such problems in Coot when I was working with explicit hydrogen
atoms with neutron data, as long as the atom names were matching the cif-files.
If the model is not refined against neutron data, there are, in my opinion, good
reasons to follow the refmac policy and not write the hydrogen atoms to the
output PDB, so there is not so much reason for Coot to change. I guess, though,
this topic is as personal as whether one should remove side chains when you
don't see density.
Best,
Tim

In phenix, which uses a riding model as well, but defines explicit hydrogens, one has to be very conscientious to add hydrogens back after mutating or adding residues. In part this is a phenix issue as well, but all in all I do have to side with Oliver on this one. Coot is not very well adapted to a handle explicit hydrogens and could benefit from improvement in that regard.
