MTLR

MTLR[p,mu,n,nb] denotes the perpendicular component in the lightcone decomposition of the metric tensor g^{\mu \nu} along the vectors n and nb. It corresponds to g^{\mu \nu}_{\perp}.

If one omits n and nb, the program will use default vectors specified via $FCDefaultLightconeVectorN and $FCDefaultLightconeVectorNB.
