15. To avoid misunderstanding, we stress that the so-called "boson peak" is not a subject of the present discussion. Here we consider the exact zero-energy limit of the DOS.
16. An alternative option of the density of states per one atom, i.e., per three degrees of freedom (Refs.), requires an additional factor of 3 for the right parts of Eqs. 1 2 7 and for the left part of Eq. 13.

18. An alternative use of a number of the molecules but not the atoms per unit volume (Refs.) would require the area of the DOS to be equal to a number of atoms in the molecule.
19. Although not for all of them, some more conditions as, e.g., equality of the Debye-Waller factors for all atoms are required.

42. Strictly speaking, this estimation can be performed only for the true DOS. It seems to be unjustified for the experimentally measured generalized DOS.

47. This is more appropriate than averaging of 〈v〉 values in Ref.12. Also, this gives better agreement with the measured DOS.
