jono, on reflection I think it was a Pink Floyd or Pink Floyd album theme. Older than the Pangakupu sharps/flats. Will post again if I pin it down.

Hi Geeker, I think it might be this one:-

It was the 50th anniversary of Dark Side of the Moon.

Right you are, brendan! Thanks.

I've looked back at the related thread and there are posts by you, so you definitely did it.

Looked it up (and on 225)...the Pink Floyd setter was the lamented Jack aka Serpent, Basilisk etc.

He was one of my favo(u)rite setters. Frequent Ninas and music themes.

IIRC he "moved upstairs" to become Times editor and retired from setting.

That’s correct, Geeker, though being the Times editor is not a one way street to retirement. The setter we know as Brendan used to edit the Times. A thematic observation might be that both Brendan and Jack are/were math professors.
