+The \vn{-spin_tune} switch, if present, will print the amplitude-dependent spin tune. The output will 
+be a Taylor series in the phasor's basis, i.e. $x_{\pm k} = \sqrt{J_k}\exp{\pm i\phi_k}$. For example

 The \vn{-x_zero}, \vn{-y_zero}, and \vn{-z_zero} options are for testing if supressing certain terms
 in the linear part of the spin transport map for a set of elements selected by the user will
 significantly affect the polarization. This is discussed in the section ``\vn{Linear dn/dpz
