Usually it is sufficient to make it "non-selfconsistent".
I.e. increase LM in case.in2
     x lapw2
     x mixer

First, make sure that you are using the latest lapw0 version (see update
from 23.12.2003 for these high LM values).

Second, you must increase parameters in param.inc,  NCOM  (which is probably
   121 currently. It's value depends on the number of LMs (symmetry)
                                                    LMAX2=9

I think it does not for "noncubic", but IT DOES !!! for cubic symmetry.
"Cubic" symmetry means positive atom-numbers in case.struct.

However, e.g. for AFM-calculations it may be important since
LM and -LM may interchange and are assumed to follow each other.
