another solution is to use input file preprocessing feature of Firefly
as shown in this example (note it must be used together with -i command line option).
Please let us know if you need more details or comments on this.

Kind regards,

As far as I know the only workaround is to manually define the basis set in the $DATA deck, like in the attached files (NewLinearDep), I know that it could be annoying with many atoms.
