If values for multiple basis sets were reported it might also help in understanding how and where larger basis sets help, which might point to how to improve basis sets in a more systematic fashion. Removing the discussion on LDA would probably free enough space to show this, especially if Figure 2 was condensed into a single figure (which should be feasible sans LDA).} \\ - \alert{This is for Manu! - We have reported a figure showing $\mu(\bm{r})$ in \ce{} for various basis sets.} + \alert{This is an excellent suggestion. + We have reported a figure showing $\mu(\bm{r})$ in \ce{} for \ce{N2} various basis sets. + The corresponding discussion has also been included.} \item \textit{One final (minor) key point is that the proposed use of density fitting or related time-saving steps seems rather ambitious, given that it necessarily introduces a further basis set dependence.
