Yes, after a bit more thinking I decided the same. I can think of examples but it does have a bit of a "that'll do" feel to me, though.

Enjoyed this crossword. Maybe not the hardest but some challenging clues and mainly parsable. Unlike one recently. Gave up last week and even looking up the answers wasn't much wiser! So fine for us with brain cells dying off 😉

Thanks RogerM

OT:
A companion clue to one that appears here.
By Ringoe, last week in Indy.

Drop a little lower keeping length in mind (5)

Thanks, Ilippu, I rather like that one.

Finished, earlier than usual, and before reading the forum ... though I couldn't parse 4d or 12a and was pleased to see that I wasn't alone, and grateful for the explanations.

Had a largely empty top half until cracking 8 with help of Crossword Solver, which led to 2d, 11a, 6d, etc.

Foi: 18
Loi: 7 - last of a quartet of 5a, 5d, 7, and 9 which fell neatly after Crossword Solver suggested the right "sharp". (Is the electronics firm really well known? I only know the name because we've got one.)
CoD: 2d perhaps, but several other clever contenders!

A satisfying puzzle, though I'm not keen on clues which depend on another clue having been solved, like 8d and 12a, both ingenious clues.

When it rains "little lowers", it pours. The &lit is shorter than Ringoe's, but I prefer the latter.

Indy 12,473 (Bard), 5d: Output a little lower (5)
