[Wien] partial DOS and total DOS

Dear Stefaan,
Thanks for your answer. Is it possible to find out the contribution of
each atom to the instertial DOS even they can not be splitted into
lm-like? Because I want to know which atom dominates in each band. The
contributions of s and p inside the sphere already give some hints. But
it is too bold to draw a conclusion from them without knowing more about
the interstitial part.

Regards,
Shu Miao
