When subtracting MRS data, which is commonly done in J-difference editing techniques, it is of great importance that spectra are accurately phase and frequency aligned with respect to each other. To allow accurate phase and frequency alignment, we present a simple, robust and fast alignment algorithm, based on maximizing the normalized scalar product between two spectra.
