27. The absence of in-plane peaks in Ref. [12] is probably due to beam damage. The GID peaks vanished upon exposures of 0.1-1 photons/molecule. Thus, the trough was translated periodically to illuminate a fresh area each time.

31. An alternative description by an oblique lattice of tails, with a 1 × 2 superlattice of headgroups, is also possible.

33. The fast beam damage did not allow collecting GID data with reliable intensity ratios of the GID peaks to support a full crystallographic refinement.
