How to set "sciss" with other parameters (or dataset) ...
I tried another input, just adding "sciss4 0.0735294117647" in the input below. (The calculated band gap is smaller than experimental one by about 2 eV. Thus the above "sciss4" corresponds to 2 eV.) It affected phonon-frequencies as well as Born effective charges and dielectric tensors... Is this really expected ?! We should not set both "rfphon 1" and "rfelfd 1" at the same time when non-zero "sciss" is applied ? 

(Response)
When a non-zero "sciss" is applied, all the response functions are affected. So, the reaction of the code is normal. On the other hand, within the present understanding of the scissor approximation, in order to get physical results, the scissor should only be applied to the dielectric tensor calculation (with rfelfd 1). So, it is right that rfphon 1 and rfelfd 1 calculations should be done separately when a scissor is used.
