Most of lower part and left of grid filled, but big holes upper right. Could someone offer tips on the down clues starting `View' and `Shrine' and the across clue starting `Provided' please?

In case it helps, the clues are `View heart of butterfly once related to moth (6)', `Shrine number on plate, say, borne by recto (4)' and `Provided pound for payment for droid (6)', and the clues include either a misprint or one to three superfluous words.

From memory:

“View….” Definition at end with misprint in last word. Wordplay is 5 1

“Shrine number on plate” is defn with misprint in first word

“Provided…” - definition last few words with misprint in last word. Wordplay is 2 4

Thanks very much.
Almost there now!

'Ats off to 'Eck - I don't think I've ever seen a comparable construction.

I genuinely didn't think I'd be able to solve this one, but here we are, day 8, and I think I have. Tough grid fill, generally clear instructions after a solid day of confusion extracting the first 9 word set of instructions. I can't even remember the clues in honesty, it seems such a long time ago I was solving them.

I feel worried because I don't know which instruction would have been helped by the title - I think I've followed them all but haven't used it. We shall see.

A unique puzzle - thanks, 'Eck.

elpenor.- split the title in three and it helps to a small extent with the third step (counting the gridfill as step 1)

Smithsax, Candledave, I am where Mtyster was before your hints helped him/her. Unfortunately your hints have not worked for me. Is it possible to be a bit more specific?

So I have obeyed the 9 word set of instructions, which seems to have led to a 10 word set of instructions, which I have tried to interpret in several ways but none have yielded anything that makes sense. Can anyone help me get over the line (if I am indeed anywhere near the line?)
