I usually do a self-consistent calculation before doing a ‘bands’ calculation.

Best,

Dear Wannier90 users,

With QE version 7.2 and Wannier90 version 3.1.0., I am trying to reproduce 
Tutorial16-with 
qe<https://github.com/wannier-developers/wannier90/tree/develop/tutorials/tutorial16-withqe>
 results but I am unable to fit MLWFs with DFT bandstructure (see image 
attached). I have used the same input (except uncommenting bands_plot) files 
provided for MLWFs. For DFT bands, the following input is used. The DFT band 
output and MLWF output is also attached (I am using a multiplication factor of 
0.967551854 for MLWF to compare with DFT bands).

For pw.x:
Silicon
 &control
    calculation     =  'bands'
    restart_mode    =  'from_scratch'
    prefix          =  'si'
    tprnfor         =  .true.
    pseudo_dir      =  '../'
    outdir          =  './out'
    iprint          =   2
/
 &system
    ibrav           =   2
    celldm(1)       =  10.2
    nat             =   2
    ntyp            =   1
    ecutwfc         =  25.0
nbnd = 12
/
 &electrons
    conv_thr        =   1.0d-12
    diagonalization =  'cg'
diago_full_acc     =  .true.

For bands.x :
!BANDSPP
&BANDS
outdir = './out'
prefix = 'si'
/

Please help me point out the possible mistakes on my end.
