Bearing in mind that partitioning charge among atoms is arbitrary, the 
code projwfc.x will do that job by projecting the charge on atomic 
wavefunctions. Then, mu=rho_up-rho_dw where rho is the charge on the 
atomic wavefunctions of each atom.

PS having a spell-checker installed could be a good idea ;-)
