No band information in ypp weight output

[yhypku]

Dear all,
I ran a BSE calculation of bulk BN on Yambo and tried to use ypp to get weights. But I didn't get the band information about the exciton. I wonder if I made a mistake in the input of ypp. The input and output are as follows. Any suggestions would be very valuable to me.
# .-Input file : ypp_ampl.in
# | excitons # [R] Excitons
# | amplitude # [R] Amplitude
# | BoseTemp= 0.000000 eV # Bosonic Temperature
# | States= "3 - 4" # Index of the BS state(s)
# | Qpts= 1 # Index q of the BS state(s)
# | DipWeight # Weight the contribution to the exciton WFs with the dipoles
# | Degen_Step= 0.0100 eV # Maximum energy separation of two degenerate states

# Electron-Hole pairs that contributes to Excitonic State 3 for iq=1 more than 5.000000%

Dear Huaiyuan,
most probably because the weights are small and by default, yambo reports weight that are larger than 5% of the maximum weights.
You can change the default by adding in input the variable "Weight_treshold", (it appears adding -V all when creating the input file) e.g.
Weight_treshold=0.01 (for weight larger than 1%), or set it to 0, to have all the transitions.

Best,
Daniele
