[Pw_forum] Symmetry of eigenstates in cluster geometry/single k-point

[Ijäs Mari]

Dear QE users, 

my apologies if this question has already been addressed, I wasn't able to find anything relevant in the archives. 

Namely, I'm calculating a clusterlike system, using obviously periodic boundary conditions and a single k-point (specified explicitly as a k-point grid instead of using the keyword gamma to ensure compatibility with other post-processing steps). In a continuum systems, I've used bands.x (lsym = .true.) to find out the symmetry of each wavefunction/eigenstate but it appears that the case with a single k-point is not supported. 

My question is thus, is the information on the irreducible representation of the eigenstates known during a normal scf/bands run, and if yes, where should I modify the code (and possibly also how) in order to most easily print them out?

Best wishes,
