of course, because the xrange is [C:D]. The idea of the script is to use 
the original xtics for [C:A] and to set them manually for the rest. So D 
should be 40 or 50 in your case. Try first to change only D and to play 
around with the manual setting of the xtics. Then you will see better 
how it works.
