Using Lester's version of the Kurucz codes, we have computed a set of models with and without “approximate overshooting”. Based on the new models, we have synthesized the spectra in the wavelength range 4800–5400 Å in order to investigate the role of overshooting and no-overshooting models on the Lick indices. Preliminary results show that the differences between the indices are significant in the case of Hβ and Mgb. We need to investigate further the importance of this convection parameter, by comparing model spectra with observed spectra.
