hw7. thanks for that. I have the ref. from the 33 letter bit (a nod to ?) and possibly some reference to the name used by LS - time to ponder a little more methinks.

............and I now understand the 2 misprints I couldn't identify earlier - and, with hindsight, that was rather stupid of me. Now for those damn initials because by my reasoning there should be 5.

Is a down clue + an across clue +6 the answer?

I finished the puzzle earlier, all bar the message from the misprints. I've just had another look and I'm so glad I did - one of the best endgames for a while IMHO - delightful and so clever. Thank you Aver!

My query doesn't relate to this puzzle, but to the TWINKLE TWINKLE puzzle of a couple of weeks back. I see in the paper today that the solution grid given uses STARS. I was originally going to go with that. In fact that's what I put in the letter-clash cells originally. However I changed my mind when I realised that we were eventually representing the musical notation of the first two lines, so I wrote in notes. It does say "any appropriate symbols" were deemed appropriate. Of course, I will find out when I send for my "results" next April. I just wondered if any of the regular contibutors on here had any thoughts currently.

I agree that using notes instead of stars is completely appropriate and I would strongly object if I were marked wrong...but I don't submit so it's hypothetical.

Turast, if you check the Listener website you will see that the solution notes allow stars, musical notes, and diamonds.
