I have seen differing views on the latest compiler - I'm not a fan.
I think I'm going to abandon it after 3791.

But I would be very grateful for answers or parsing to the final few:

8A Pulse half missing, getting terribly cold (4) _ _ _ C

10A French city declared bust (6). _ _ _ A _ T

11A What one familiar with Wagner does in audition, offering

ornamentation. (8) Looks like "Nosering" I get nose for knows,

but Ring?

21A Writer's voice has sounds of hesitation (6). Sayers? "ers" sounds

of hesitation - the rest?

1D Baking has a sickly spread (7). S _ _ _ _ _ N

Thanks in advance for putting me out of my misery.
