When using frames the predefined coframes are defined as mixed tensors and the ctensor program assumes they are lowered tensors. To make the predefine coframes for exteriorschwarzschild, interiorschwarzschild, isotropicschwarzschild, and kerr_newman correct, the fri should equal lfg . fri. This will make the coframe a lowered tensor. The coframe for cartesian4d is correct, because it has +4 signature so lfg is all positive and the fri is not changed by lfg. These coframe tensors came from DOE ctensor program where the coframe was defined as mixed tensor.
