Currently it is not possible to tell from the waveform fits plot whether a first-motion polarity has been used for a given station. The legacy plots look like this (From Alvizuri and Tape, 2018, Figure S2):
The "1 (0.74)" label indicates that the station had a +1 observed polarity that was used in estimating the best-fitting moment tensor. From what I recall, the 0.74 is a synthetic amplitude factor that played a role in down-weighting stations that were nodal (for which you might be more concerned about the 1D model assumption). You can also see the "pol_wt 0.30" listed in the header, indicating the weight of polarities in the misfit function. It would be great to add a +1 or -1 at the left whenever a polarity observation is used. And perhaps a label in the header indicating how many total polarity measurements where used (similar to listing how many total stations, P windows, and Surf windows are used). Thanks.
