Dear Paulina,

can you provide the squared amplitude (or a piece thereof)
that generates this message? Essentially a minimal working example
to understand what happens.

$AL($188) is just a dummy index that is automatically introduced
when squaring an amplitude to avoid violating Einstein’s summing
convention. That should not be an issue.

Cheers,
Vladyslav
