Dear Lorenzo Dona,

Perhaps you could try to use a visualization software to verify the
structure and export it in .xyz format. You could use VESTA to make the
structure and visualize it. VESTA can read Wyckoff positions. Furthermore,
it can export the positions of the atoms in .xyz format. You can use the
coordinates of the .xyz file as input. This way, you avoid using
space_group and crystal_sg.
