Thanks syzygy, nice construction. I liked 1 & 30 across, 11 down and d & L* from the extras.

Thanks, syzzie. Quick but delightful. A few stars, among them 17A and 5D (really liked "pines away").

Maltby always has a good number of smooth clues & a variety of types.

I have a question about clue k.
Def & first word of wordplay are clear, but "back to the sign" eludes me.
Presumably that refers to the last 2 letters.

Hi syzygy, the last 2 letters is an abbreviation (musical).

Thanks, Ginge. Dal segno, of course.

You're right up there with Aristo, & I've forgotten a lot of music theory.
