Why not, but I think that it is not really more simple than just looking
at the number n_occ of (partially) occupied bands in case.scf and choosing
nband = n_occ + a few more bands. But remember that nband in case.inhf is
a parameter (similar to R*K_max) which has to be tested.

One last thing: the purpose of nband in case.in1 is not at all the same
as nband in case.inhf.

But the value of "nband' at case.inhf is confusing. on the page 97 of UG has mentioned "  .... nband should be at least equal to the number of (partially) occupied bands plus one". While at the line 5 of case.in1 the value of nband is automatically determined ( UG page 102) by "   nband = ne ∗ 2.0 + 5 " which is number of eigenvalues. Can we consider inband of case.inhf is equals: (eigenvalues -5)/2+1 which is extracted from case.in1?
