[Pw_forum] problem of intertwined bands in the bandstructure

[Omar BESBES]

Dear all,

I am a user  of quantum espresso version 5.1.1. 
I am studying the compound CrPS3.
I encountered a problem of intertwined bands when plotting the bandstructure of CrPS3.
This problem is very visible when I use 60 k points in the non self-consistent calculation.

This problem is partially resolved when I use a large number of k points = 240 
in the nscf calculation. But it is still visible.

Please find attached the 2 pictures of the bandstructure.

Does somebody know how to fix this problem?
Is it related to the version of quantum espresso I'm using?

I'd appreciate your help.

Best regards,
