You just have to run it for spin-up AND dn and sum up the results.

It has nothing to do whether you set "N" as non-magnetic or not, only the final scf-results are important and also the N-p DOS could be (slightly) different for spin-up and dn.

PS: ELNES does not know about spin-orbit coupling and L2 vs. L3.

Dear Wien2k users,

Could anyone please explain to me the role of spin in ELNES
calculations? In particular, suppose I am trying to get ELNES of
ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic compounds consisting of two
sublattices, one out of which is non-magnetic (CrN, in the
initialisation phase I set up/dn spins on Cr, and no magnetic moment
on N atoms). I am interested in both Cr L2,3 edge and N K edge.

Many thanks in advance for your help,
David
