ID: https://schemas.anyterial.se/defs/v0.1/properties/spacegroups/hm_short_old
Definition name: hm_short_old
Property name: Short Hermann-Mauguin symbol in old notation
Description: The older short Hermann-Mauguin symbol retained as an alias for symbols superseded by newer e-glide notation.
Type: string
Hermann-Mauguin symbols describe crystallographic space groups using lattice-centering symbols and symmetry-element symbols.
The setting-specific fields describe the concrete Hall/International Tables setting of the current record.
The *_std fields describe the IT-standard setting for the space-group type and can therefore be identical across multiple settings with the same IT number.
Requirements/Conventions:
