Hi Josh,

I haven't published the REW-TDDFT approach yet. I am working on a few systems that I plan to submit very soon. Indeed, I implemented this to study pre-edge and NEXAFS core spectra. For the deep core states, I have found that CIS is identical to full-TDDFT. This is also cheaper. The full-TDDFT is more accurate for the valence excitations.

In terms of your case you don't need to swap orbitals if you use my windowing approach. For the m-edge, I recommend running a ground state calculation first to get an idea of the relevant orbitals and eigenvalues in that energy range and then use that energy as a cutoff. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Let me know if there are any issues.
