About path.dat file

Dear users,
I do EPW calculation for electron linewidth calculation. Here is my question.
Can we change the path.dat (file of kpoints long which we want the linewidth) file, while it does the electron-phonon matrix element calculation on dense grid?

Dear Vinpandey,

For electron linewidth calculations one needs to perform an integral over the q wavevector, so to get the el. linewidth at any desired k point, a dense q grid is what you need.

Best,
