There is no automatic way, but of course you can change case.in1 by hand
as you like.
However, I expect that without "deeper knowledge of the LAPW-method" I'd 
expect you will get "nonsense", ghostbands, missing states or at least 
rather inaccurate results.
The original "LAPW" method was not secure (or not accurate) for most 
elements of the periodic table.
