Dear Peter and Kateryna, 

Thanks for sorting this out. 

Peter, the fixed bug in create_rho.f is a separate issue, right?

Best,

    Good to hear that this has been resolved.

    PS: I just did a SnSe calc. and compared with the VASP paper. Similarly, 
    very good agreement in the interstitial, while inside the atomic cores 
    there is the expected difference between all-electron and pseudopotentials.
