After having created and modified a supercell, the symmetry is almost
never right. Therefore: yes, accept the suggestions by nn and by sgroup.
Other error messages are due to a previous case.inst lingering around:
> NUMBER OF ELECTRONS NE IZ 29.0000000000000 28
> NUMBER OF ELECTRONS NE IZ 32.0000000000000 28
Either remove case.inst before init_lapw, or run instgen_lapw and accept
the new file.
If you doubt the correctness, then first do as described above, then
take the final case.struct to a new, empty directory and run init_lapw
there again. There should be no error messages or new suggestions any more.
