Dear QE users and developers,


I am facing a q2r error: "q not allowed" when I ran q2r.x (QE 6.3) in a series of steps in phonon dispersion calculations. I searched the maillist but could not find out a clear answer on "how-to-remove-this-error". My inputs are shown below. Could you please give me a clear solution?
