    Yes, indeed, Flemming is correct.  I did not have the line track->SetID(i)
    in the copy of
    CopyDetectorTracks that I found.  Isn't this something that should be an
    'official' piece of software?
    That is, shouldn't we have
    BrCopyDetectorTracksFromTpcTracksToTracksWeCanActuallyUseForReconstructingGl
    obalSpectrometerTracks?
    Perhaps the name needs some work, but I think that we are in a confusing (at
    least it was for me) situation, in that our best "local tracks" cannot be
    used directly with our track matching routines.
    I propose, at least for discussion, that we freeze the tracking code (except
    for obvious bug fixes) add BrCopyTpcTracks and concentrate on analysis.  It
    seems that our matching is working (at least when I'm not giving it shitty
    input!) pretty well, and perhaps should be left alone long enough to get
    some (more) results.
    The only argument, to my mind, against this would be if there were known
    serious problems with the code.
    It may well be that my idea of a serious problem is not the same as the more
    fanatical c++'ers.
    Any comments?
    Ian

      Claus,
      I looked a bit more into this and concluded the following
    
      a) You were right in the the code would not find more than one good
      track,
      b) However this is not due to BrModuleMtachTrack, but rather to the fact
      that the
        utility module did not copy properly the TpcTracks into
      BrdetectorTracks
    
      I attach the proper code here - since I am unsure if there is a public
      place for those ?
      [line with SetID()]
    
        // Find the BrTpcTrack table
        BrDataTable* fTpcTable =
          inNode->GetDataTable(Form("%s %s", kTpcTrack, GetName()));
        // Create a BrDetectorTrack Table
        BrDataTable* fTable =
          new BrDataTable(Form("DetectorTrack %s", GetName()));
        outNode->AddDataTable(fTable);
        if(fTpcTable){
          int n = fTpcTable->GetEntries();
          for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
           BrTpcTrackCandidate* bestTrack = (BrTpcTrackCandidate*)
      fTpcTable->At(i);
            BrDetectorTrack *track = new BrDetectorTrack();
            track->SetPos(bestTrack->GetPos());
            track->SetAlpha(bestTrack->GetSlope());
            track->SetQuality(bestTrack->GetQuality());
            track->SetID(i);
            fTable->Add(track);
          }
        }
