 At the moment, you can either specify one Range {} or all the atoms
explicitely. So, if your atoms are ordered so, that all the movables are
in a block (like in your case), you can write

  MovedAtoms = Range { 5 12 }

which would move all the atoms from (and including) the 5th up to (and
including) the 12th. All other atoms would remain fixed.

  If the moved atoms do not form a contiguous block, you must name them
explicitely, e.g.:

  MovedAtoms = { 1 3 12 20 }

  Best regards
