@lparsons with respect to point 2, one idea I had that could help is to allow alignment with respect to expected retention times . So if you have a set of compounds that's always solid, you can pick those automatically, then align the observed RTs and expected RTs, and hopefully the other compounds now match their expected RTs better as well. Obviously not foolproof, but I think it may work well in many cases. What do you think?
The idea is to identify particular compounds that require some additional parameter tweaking or peak group selection rules for a given method and encode that into the compound database. Currently, retention time is used as a way to disentangle peaks, but it would potentially be useful to encode some additional "rules" or "hints" to aid in peak detection. Some examples would be:
