It refers to a very common filter step when processing MS2 spectra. Peaks are merged if they are closer than a resolution threshold (e.g. closer than 1ppm of the mz). They can either be merged by summing up all intensities of the respective peaks, or by only keeping the maximum intensity.

To obtain our current results we did not use this merging step. But to be sure I wrote two collaborators to get their opinion on how much this is a default thing to do in the field.

Close this since it actually refers to the same filter as #92 .
