 arrangements/EinsteinAnalysis/Multipole/src/multipole.cc , line 22 reads:

 static const int max_vars = 10;

 Occasionally I'd like to output a multipole decomposition, e.g., for 12
 variables. When I attempt this, because of the above limit, I get the
 mysterious error message that appears due to the assert on line 42 of this
 same file.

 First, I think this should be a freely specifiable parameter.

 Second, the error message should be clearer about what is wrong.

 Third, by just setting the above to 30, I was able to perform a run with
 12 output variables. Is this the correct fix? (The run no longer errors
 out.)
