[AMBER] Constant pH generalized Born MD tutorial: Use of tautp with ntt=3

Dear all

I am writing to seek clarification on an (apparent) discrepancy in the
Amber22 user manual and
the tutorial on constant pH MD
<https://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial18/section1.php>.

The manual indicates that (A) *tautp* controls the
heat bath coupling in the "weak-coupling ensemble"
scheme invoked by *ntt=1* and that (B) *gamma_ln* controls
the coupling in the Langevin scheme invoked by *ntt=3*.

The tutorial, on the other hand, uses both *tautp* and
*gamma_ln* with *ntt=3*.

The original article <https://doi.org/10.1002/jcc.20139> on constant pH MD
in the
generalized Born framework uses the Berendsen
thermostat (*ntt=11*) with *tautp=2*, consistent with
the manual.

Am I correct in assuming that the MD engine
ignores *tautp* when it finds *ntt *set to* 3*?

Thanks and regards
