Thanks Dr. Kroeker. I think you are right. I have more than 700 bands.

I am using the semishared distribution of Xcrysden. Are there any ways to
increase the band number parameter in this distribution? The cluster that I
am using do not have some of the required libraries and I am afraid that
the source code could not be compiled.
