Dear Prof. Tran,

                I am describing the steps to run HSE06 below. Please
correct me if I am wrong.
(1) Run a spin-polarized SCF with GGA.
(2) Save_lapw
(3) init_hf_lapw
(4) edit case.inhf to put the no. of bands at nband. The value of
nband should be the number of occupied bands+1. *But how to know the number
of occupied bands?*
(5) runsp_lapw -hf

Are these the correct sequence?

with regards,
