Since fittest.* (the macro(s) in question) is designed to mimic VirVubFitter and reweighting B->D*lnu is done by VirVubFitter I assume that this is also done by fittest. >If not, could the different form factor values influence > the slow pion spectrum in a way that the D and D* composition in the > second bin (where e.g. the slow pion goes into the Breco in the > reconstruction) could give us such large differences between data and MC? I'll try to see if the B->D*lnu reweighting is done in fittest. > Would it make sense to check whether the muon and the electron sample > behave the same?

Since I perform fits using the Signal fit function on MC for bin-by-bin in mX then use the parameters obtained by performing said fits for Data also bin-by-bin in mX I guess the above is ruled out.
