Combined orderings

Dear members of the forum,

I am currently facing the following issue. I am working on a relative projective
space IP^r x IC^n, i.e. in the ring IC[s_0,...,s_r][x_1,...,x_n], where I consider
the s-variables as global, homogeneous variables, and the x-variables as local,
affine variables. This viewpoint suggests a mixed ordering such as

dp(r+1),ds(n).

For the relative projective space it is important, to work with the s-degree,
which is realized by the weights (1....,1,0,...,0), with r+1 ones and n zeroes.
I will say that an element a of S is s-homogeneous, when it is homogeneous
with respect to these weights.

Now, I am given an ideal I in S, whose generators are s-homogeneous and
I would like to compute a free resolution, which preserves the s-homogeneity.
Unfortunately, with the previously mentioned ordering, the command

mres(I,0)

does not produce a resolution with matrices with s-homogeneous entries.

Do you have any suggestions? That would be great!

Thank you very much,

MickeyMouseII

It seems that I did not interpret the output of the resolution
algorithm correctly. After all, it seems to naturally respect
the grading.
