## Comet parameter: max_variable_mods_in_peptide

- Specifies the total/maximum number of residues that can be modified in a peptide.
- As opposed to specifying the maximum number of variable modifications for each of the 6 possible variable modifications, this entry limits the global number of variable mods possible in each peptide.
- The default value is "10" if this parameter is missing.

Example:
`max_variable_mods_in_peptide = 6`
`max_variable_mods_in_peptide = 10`
