lol...yes, I think I've overstepped the mark this time. A cryptic within a cryptic that is unsolvable and spelled wrong!
I was basically trying to work with 'He wrote Cosi fan tutte' but things got a little out of hand ;) I've written 50+ clues in the last two days...I think I need a break!

ok, I've gone for...

Composer's fair included 14 briefly (6)
(fair = mart & the answer to 14 is Australia)

3 more to do, then bed!

Is there only one clue at 14, either Down or Across because if you have both, then you should indicate which.
I once wrote a clue Lionheart that incorporated another entry and didn't realise that that entry was the start of both a Down clue and an Across clue which looked a bit unprofessional and I got questioned on it. If only one clue starts at 14, then it should be ok to just put the number

No probs...it's only an across starter. Strangely all of my cross referenced clues in this grid are the same...no need for a's and d's :)
I've just finished and checked it through and all seems well. It's a birthday present commissioned by a friend for his mother-in-law...my first paid gig! I hope she likes it :o
