[Wien] Correct band indexing in Wien2k?

Dear Wien2k team,

I have implemented a routine which computes the norm of
Wien2k-wavefunctions, but I'm not able to make sense of the band indexing
from Wien2k.

Having run a simulation on GaAs without spin-orbit coupling  on a 72
k-points mesh in the irreducible BZ,  I use my routine to find the
wavefunction distribution between the atomic spheres and the interstitifal
region for a couple of bands.* Note that my routine is run for k=(0,0,0).*

According to the scf-file bands bands 10-14 are occupied, while bands 15-20
are not. At the origin, I expected bands 12-14 to be identical in terms of
the weight between the atomic spheres and the interstitial region. Looking
at the results, it is bands 13-15 that have identical distribution between
the wavefunction.

Any idea what is going on here?

Both the scf-file and the results of my routines follow:

J_1 denotes the complex contribution from the atomic spheres.
J_2 denotes the complex contribution from the interstitial region.
The norm is given by  ABS( J_1+J_2 ).

nInit denotes the band at which the norm is computed, and the norm is
computed at k=(0,0,0).
