    Dear Elk Users,

              I am planning to calculate the thermo-electric(TE) properties after finding the ground-state using Elk code. For converging TE results, the Eigen values has to be calculated on dense k-grid.
    
              In one of the article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jallcom.2018.11.141) authors have calculated the ground state using 8x8x8 k-points and for TE     calculation the it has been increased to 76x76x76 k-points.
    
              In the usual way task '0' --gound state and 20 for band structure...        Is there any method in elk where eigen values are calculated again on dense grid without going to task'0' again.

    Run ground state with
    tasks
    0
    ngridk
    8 8 8

    Then run another run with
    tasks
    1
    ngridk
    76 76 76
    maxscl
    1
