any reason why this cannot be done for MNE as well? For LCMV, such a string gets converted: % it is difficult to give a quantitative estimate of lambda, therefore also % support relative (percentage) measure that can be specified as string (e.g. '10%') if ~isempty(lambda) && ischar(lambda) && lambda(end)=='%' ratio = sscanf(lambda, '%f%%'); ratio = ratio/100; lambda = ratio * trace(Cy)/size(Cy,1); end where Cy is the data covariance

The reason is, that the lambda parameter in MNE has a slightly different meaning than the lambda parameter in the beamformers. Not sure whether the percentage convention is easily transportable to MNE. I don't see a strong reason to make this consistent.
