[Rivet] WFinder does not keep charged particle cuts

[Daniel Weyh]

Hi all,

I'd guess it's in these lines
----WFinder.cc-------L103-----------
    // FS for non-signal bits of the event
    VetoedFinalState remainingFS;
    remainingFS.addVetoOnThisFinalState(signalFS);
    addProjection(remainingFS, "RFS");
--------------------------------------------
By now I don't know pretty much about when projections are evaluated.
But given as far is I (think I have) seen, these lines do a veto on the global event.
For maintaining cuts made earlier, second line would maybe have to be changed to
--------------------------------------------
    VetoedFinalState remainingFS(fs_l);
--------------------------------------------
where fs_l is the input final state.

But here again the question about inteded behaviour...

Cheers,
Daniel

PS @ Holger: In our MC_EVENTSHAPES I think I solved the problem by using some veto-juggling... (therefore no recompilation of rivet/Sherpa is needed). 
Look into the git repo (git pull) ;-)
