Blimey, that was quick leon, many thanks, I presume the ut refers to the original version of the first note.

You observant lot! So enlightened. Thank you all.

Glad to be of help, Not so much, observant, rather more obsessed. Won 2 bottles of very good champers from this last year, went down very well at Christmas and New Year.

I've got 26a yielding one of the notes - but the wordplay in the clue is normal. So am I wrong?

I haven't got the paper and can't remember the exact wording, but didn't the preamble say something like ' six, not seven clues...'? The bit about highlighting said 'seven words and a name' I think.

nelson, you are right thats the seventh note a(fa)ra to highlight

But where was "fa" generated? And if it wasn't why not? Also, it seems to me that the preamble is ambiguous; should the two or three letter words be highlighted, or the whole of the words in which they appear?

I think it can only be the notes because the preamble says highlight 23 cells including the name

Quite right, nelson, I had forgotten that.

I have the same problem as Nelson. I can't understand 26a. It seems to be correctly clued, so how come the "fa" comes from there? Also I can't properly locate "la". Any thoughts?
