Hello,

I'd be grateful for any advice:

I'm counting the amount of change in a character over a tree sample  
with Mesquite (using "Analyze"-"Other Analyses with trees"-"Summarize  
change in selected clade"

I would like to obtain the full distribution of the number of changes  
across the tree sample (i. e., X trees say there was 1 change, Y trees  
there were 2 changes, etc).

In the way I'm doing it I get the fraction of trees predicting each  
change value (from 0 to 9) but all the trees predicting 10 or more  
changes are included in the same category (10+)

Is there any way to tell the program to output the information on the  
full distribution?

Many thanks in advance,

Ana
