Almost. crgmask was set to '' in V0 as well, otherwise you strip the
magnesium charge before any calculations start and effectively let an
uncharged magnesium-sized particle disappear.
With
V0: scmask='MG', crgmask=''
V1: scmask='', crgmask=''
you let a charged magnesium disappear completely, treating both its charge
and vdW interaction via soft-core potentials.
