Dear Craig

Hello,

Please specify
lshift_q = .False.
in the ph.x input.

Subject: [QE-users] Calculating phonon dispersions with the tetrahedron
method

Dear Users,

When using the new tetrahedron method for electron-phonon calculations, you
get the message:

"Because shifted q grid is used, q2r will not work !"

To calculate phonon dispersions, one usually uses the .fc and .freq files
produced by  q2r.x and matdyn.x.

Is there any other options to get dispersions using the tetrahedron method?

Other then the two options of rerunning the electron-phonon calculations
with out the tetrahedron method, or attempting ones own dispersion.

Thank you,
