Hmm, the docs
https://einsteintoolkit.org/usersguide/UsersGuide.html#x1-70000
are not explicit about this.
I have certainly used it like this:
--8<--
Coordinates::radial_stretch = "yes"
Coordinates::stretch_rmin_1 = $outermost_detector + 2.*$initial_orbital_period
Coordinates::stretch_rmax_1 = $outermost_detector + 4.*$initial_orbital_period
Coordinates::h_radial_1 = 4 * $hr
--8<--
in files of my own (with $hr having been set before).
Can you attach the full parameter file maybe?
Yours,
Roland
