[Wannier] Projections in wannier tools

[Payal Wadhwa]

Dear Wannier Experts,

I am a new user of wannier90 and unable to understand how to define
projections.
I made a guess in LaSb using the following input file

 num_wann =    12  ! set to NBANDS by VASP
 num_bands = 16
num_iter        = 5000
conv_window = 10

dis_win_min = -27.000
dis_win_max =  9.000
dis_froz_min = -27.000
dis_froz_max =  7.000

dis_num_iter      =  5000

guiding_centres = true

begin unit_cell_cart
     0.0000000     3.2714012     3.2714012
     3.2714012     0.0000000     3.2714012
     3.2714012     3.2714012     0.0000000
end unit_cell_cart

begin atoms_cart
La       0.0000000     0.0000000     0.0000000
Sb       3.2714012     3.2714012     3.2714012
end atoms_cart

begin projections
Sb:p
Sb:p
Sp:p
La:p
end projections

mp_grid =     5     5     5

I just took a guess on the projections. It is a semi-metallic system,
disenglement  is well converged but the wannierisation is not converged.
Even after 5000 iterations, i have the following output.

   5000    -0.779E-05     0.1067611360       35.9723700455     153.89  <--

Can you please help me to define projections, so that the wannier functions
would be well converged.

I have taken the random projections as well, but from that carrier density
from my Fermi surface plot is not coming out to be the same as the reported
one.

I would be very thankful to you.

Thanks
