This is not an open core, so you can change by hand your
 .inc (add two lines for 4f orbitals),
 .in1 (remove l=3 line from the valence orbitals) and
 .in2 (correct total number of valence electrons)

- but why do you want this??? 4f in Ta are quite impoerant,
at least for correct total energies.

Good luck,
