        I think it would.<br>
        I think the interpolated ACE projectors should be a good
      approximation of the ones one could obtain with a very dense grid
      so it should be ok up to the bands included in the summation. I
      don't know if anybody is trying to implement this but it would be
      a nice feature to have because it would allow to do nscf
      calculations with hybrids, at least approximately.  <br>
