Thanks. I had twigged AIDA, but couldn't parse because the clue seemed to indicate removing not(e) finally from the opera. I suppose it means the note 'A'.

Frameshift, I thought the same, until I found out 'aid' is an acceptable alternative spelling of 'aide' for auxiliary. So yes, the 'e' isn't a factor.

Incidentally, as some of you will have realised, this particular puzzle is 1Across 8Down's 12Across24Acrossth puzzle! http://www.crosswordsolver.org/forum/239125/wadham-suttons-favourite-clue
