Of course, when you want to get the relativistic splitting, you need to run
the corresponding program, which calculates spin-orbit contributions: lapwso

Furthermore, the qtl program needs a weight file, which is produced by lapw2.

x lapw1 -band -up -p     (needs -band to know that it should read from *.klist_band)
x lapw1 -band -dn -p
x lapwso  -up -p          does not need -band, because it reads case.vectorup/dn, but -band does not hurt
x lapw2 -band -so -up -p -qtl  (needs -band to know that there is no tetra- k-mesh, produces weigth files)
x lapw2 -band -so -up -p -qtl  ( and needs -so to use case.vectorsoup/dn)
x qtl -up -so -p               (does not need -band)

a tip:

x qtl -h      lists all possible options corresponding to the program qtl

x qtl -up -so -d     produces upqtl.def  and you can see which files are needed/produced
