Hi Krisztian,
their have recently been updates to have all relevant information in the 
treeFile even for run dependent parameters. So you need a verison that 
fits to your alignment jobs. This should be at
.../MPproduction/CMSSW_4_2_4_patch1_TkAl3/src/Alignment/MillePedeAlignmentAlgorithm/macros

For documentation see

https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMSPublic/SWGuideMillepedeIIAlgorithm#Pede_Parameters_and_Geometry_Com

and the two rather recent talks that I just linked from there ("A Quick 
Look at Millepede Results" and "Millepede and IOV Dependence: Plotting 
Tools").

See above - I'll remove .../MPproduction/PlotMillePede now.
