Description

@xivh
  1. casm ref --set-auto gives this message if the composition axes are changed:
  Set reference states automatically.


Error in auto_chemical_reference: Could not find enough calculated configurations
Error setting reference states automatically.

Error in auto_chemical_reference: Could not find enough calculated configurations

Changing back to the original axes solves the problem.

  1. casm ref --set-auto is not finding the lowest energy when there are many structures with the same composition.
casm ref --set-auto
  Set reference states automatically.
