Hi Hendrik
It's very interesting that you could enlarge the database of solution grids having B7B+ puzzles (all of which, except 3 old B7B ones, have a non-degenerate tridagon until now).
I'm curious about the number of minimal B7B+ puzzles you've got so far from these 799 grids. Could you publish them also?
.

Since last summer, I have focused on finding new solution grids. I adapted my scripts accordingly. We have earlier observed that once you have a B7B+ puzzle, minimal or expanded to a certain degree, in many cases an important number of related minimals can be obtained with the same BxB rating by a process of subsequent expanding and 'minimalisation' rounds.
However, given my limited resources, I prefer to concentrate them on identifying new B7B+ grids. Minimalisation plays a role in this process, as does twinning. I have not the intention to list all possible minimals obtainable with the exp/min/exp/min...process. However, as the 196 new puzzles in my post of yesterday are probably all min_expands, it should not be difficult to derive the minimals of these puzzles. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think that Paquita and coloin posted already lists of minimals of previously posted B7B puzzles.

Many of the twins were already there in some form....which is probably to be expected as your search process is thorough !
In adding clues to your puzzles to expand to max BxB there were BxB 6s found ...
I think I generated many BxB 6 and looked for higher by minimizing and rexpanding with singles.

I took the liberty of adding the BxB7 11.9 to the puzzles section to see what the solvers thought of it !!

The 11.9s are derived from fully expanded 11.6s

We have earlier observed that once you have a B7B+ puzzle, minimal or expanded to a certain degree, in many cases an important number of related minimals can be obtained with the same BxB rating by a process of subsequent expanding and 'minimalisation' rounds.

Until now, the search for hard puzzles has explored only a very small part of the space of solution grids. Finding new solution grids having B7B+ puzzles is a very interesting (and new) goal.

In adding clues to your puzzles to expand to max BxB there were BxB 6s found ...
I think I generated many BxB 6 and looked for higher by minimizing and rexpanding with singles.

I took the liberty of adding the BxB7 11.9 to the puzzles section to see what the solvers thought of it !!

Very interesting analysis indeed, also about the effect of advanced expansions on SER and BxB.
It is noticeable that we now also find more SER 11.9s. BTW, in my previous post I counted 11 11.9s, but two of them were counted twice. I changed the number in my post of yesterday.
In your results there are also two new solutions! I will add them to my B7B+ solutions database:

I also found two cases of different BxB rating within the BXB7+ domain for the same solution.

This seems to happen rather exceptionally. While setting up the B7B+ solutions database I only noticed a few such cases.
This must be the result from 'higher' expansions.

Yes you found 9 of them but actually the twins of the BxB7 added two more [8+3] you had the 11.6 version of the 2 other puzzles !

I would have expected that all new twin puzzles would be new solution grids ...?

I think all these puzzles are BxB 8 ... so possibly a typo [ Usually SHC is consistent]

I have altered the approvals for all the files..

I think what Hendrik means is, for some solution grid, there are different non-isomorphic B7B+ puzzles with different BxB ratings - which is to be expected.
What I find more surprising is, this seems to be rare. Hendrik, can you say more about this ?
