Strauss Work? By Chalicea

[Matakari]

 

Good morning, a very interesting offering by Chalicea with “Strauss work?” in the Crossword Centre.My grid is almost complete, but my weakness persists with discovering the misprints. Help with the following will be appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

( PREAMBLE: 30 lies between 15 and 36 ( all unclued ). Solvers must appropriately shade 26 cells including the correct state, and obey a further instruction given by corrections of misprints appearing in the definition parts of 18 clues. )  www.crossword.org.uk/strauss.html

10a   Barn's moved into depths of wood, space being of short tenure for starters (6): ES?IST
 19a  Tacky mischarge, supported by unlawful mind-set (5) : ?LN?N
 25a  Units of acceleration maintaining heart of patronage for Jags (5) : G?OLS
 26a  One French king, top of pate trimmed, not peruked (6) : ?NTEA?

5d Scotch egg mash was valid, enthralling university (4) : RA?N

Morning, Matakari.

You have some mistakes  - in 19,19 and 26.

 

25 The misprint is in the last word

10 The msiprint is at the beginning

19 The misprint is at begining

26 The misprint is at the end.

5 D A three letter word for 'was valid', feasible etyc has the usual Unoversity inside - it should jump out at you now!

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, the latest Genius puzzle is out, but you may not like it - alphabetical solutions and superfluous letters, your favourites!

[bobbinwales]

I want 26a to be UNREAD  but dont get the peruked misprint bit-perused?

[bobbinwales]

Is your L wrong in 25a-- should it be an N

[Matakari]

Many thanks, NACW and bobbinwales! Just back from basking in some October sunshine and am ready to attack "Strauss Work?" again! Will have a look at the Genius as soon as I'm done with Chalicea!

[bobbinwales]

yes 5d- just add the U and your there

[roslyn251254]

Still waiting for the genius to be updated ...apparently 6 clues are mssing....

[Matakari]

I am pleased to have reached this far with Chalicea, even if I have not yet grasped the further instruction based on the misprints. As for 25a, if the L is incorrect, it must be a misprint because 13d in the crossing with L is SCHLOCKY.
What are the answers for the following?
10a  ?S?IST  ( E misprint? )
26a UNREAL/UNREAD?

[bobbinwales]

I already said UNREAD... UN + R + (h)EAD-  (not perused)

[Neveracrossword]

Matakari, to put you out of your misery, 10 is Embost (Bard's moved rather than Barn's)

 

I'm surprised you missed Perused earlier...

[Neveracrossword]

... and Matakari, the instruction is fairly short, with quite ordinary looking/fairly recognisable words in it.

[bobbinwales]

yes Em (space) + Being Of Short Tenure (first letters)

[Matakari]

Now, if you really want to take me out of my misery, please divulge the “further instruction”, the answer for 25a ( G?OLS). And as far as the 26 cells to be “appropriately”shaded, I see 12 for the state, but do not see the other 14. Is there something to be done with the other Unclueds at 15a, 30a, 31d and 32d? Thanks in advance for enlightening me!

[bobbinwales]

well if your sure of the L then all I can suggest is GAOLS(Jags could be Lags or Jugs) but I cant see where the AoL is from

. I was earlier thinking of gRONs  with ron from patRONage thinking grons maybewas something to do with fags... but I cant find a word meaning that

[Toorak]

Gals are units of acceleration

[bobbinwales]

Thanks. That works then - just the O from centre of patrOnage

I was thinking just Gs ... gals is new to me

[bobbinwales]

[Matakari]

Thanks, bobbinwales and Toorak! I had gaols, but could not parse it. The matter of the 26 cells to be shaded is still quite irksome. I’m pretty sure of the “30 lies between 15 and 36” : the state of 12 cells, the 15 which is that ocean which is so peaceful, and the 30 of three words (GGB ), followed by 31 a three-letter ornament and 32 which suggests the gift of the …or bag anagrammatically speaking! But, of course, “corrections of misprints” is not my bag of tea!

[ProfessorMaisie]

There are 18 corrections to misprints and they take the form of a three word instruction -  A...   S...   C... (3, 10 & 5 letters). Just adding a few more of the corrected letters to those should be enough to get you there, Matakari (what would make the image in the grid more realistic?).

So far you've got - 'barD' in 10a / 'jUgs' in 25a / 'peruSed' in 26a. The other ones mentioned earlier - 'Discharge' 19a / 'masS' 5d. Here's another couple - 'Board' 24d / 'jEst' 32d (all capital letters are corrected misprints).

[Matakari]

My appreciation, ProfessorMaisie, for helping with the misprints some of which NACW led me to. I've been trying with what I have to work out the message, but no dice! I keep toying with D,D,U,S,S,B,E and the A,S,C you so generously provided to form the three-word instruction ( 3,10,5 ), yet I don't see the light! Perhaps a gift of the remaining corrected letters might get me there, thanks! A pity to entertain the thought of abandoning Chalicea at this juncture!
