This sounds good to me too, now that we seem to have consistency between the different momenta. I would propose to add * fP, containing the global momentum * fPMethod, integer member having: 0 = No momentum (fP = 0) 1 = Mom. from global fit 2 = Mom. from FFS only (in case we don't have BFS, what's done now) 3 = Mom. from BFS only (there are some of these events...) i.e. we fill fP as often as possible, and just mark how we do in. In addition to keeping the individual momenta like now, of course. This way we should be able to select the momentum sample we want pretty easily. Theta and phi should then be calc. from whatever fP is set to.
