It is printed in output, or at least that's what I've got after doing
some single-mode calculation:
Dynamical matrix:
1 1 -0.276205 0.000000
1 2 -0.000065 0.000000
1 3 0.071921 0.000000
1 4 -0.102158 0.000000
[...]
Which means M_{13} = 0.071921 + i 0.000000
Although, that happens when you use modenum=# in the input. Now that
you made me recall it, I think that by using nrapp+list of
representations you don't get the dynamical matrix line.
You can just rerun the code with modeunm=1, 2 and 3 (three separate
runs) and it will pop you the line in a few minutes (they are already
computed, just not printed). You can also extract them by hand from file
$otudir/_php$prefix.save/data-file.xml.1.$R
where $R is the representation number.
If your system has symmetry, this may not be correct. I think it is,
but I am quite confused by the differences (if any) between nrapp,
nat_todo, modenum and/or start_irr+last_irr. I would rather refrain
from further comment than tell you something wrong.
