As usual, nearly there!
Just need help with three: How the word play works would be appreciated!
41 across: Eventful life not initially helping current allegation (5) ST?RY. 7 down: Sign replacing second note in melodies with a different one (5) I assume ARIES, which then changes to ARISE? 12 down: Amerind, we hear, at one with old and new world (8) ?REATI??.
Now I also need to know what letter to put in center cell (I assume 'S' but why?)
Thanks in advance
P.S. It's freezing here!

12 Creation sounds like Cree Asian
41 'eventful life' = (h)(i)STORY - 'not initially' (h)elping + abbrev for current = (i)
sounds like 'cree' is right, but then it's AT+1+O+N jj109
Eventful life HISTORY not initially h(elping) = istory somehow remove the i ????= story (allegation)
Why is current "i" ??
S is right for the centre Ripper - another letter (repeated) appears in orbit around it).
Sorry Prof - should have scrolled
'i' is the abbreviation for electrical current
sorry, jj109 - I thought you were asking me to explain - I'm sure you know that i = current.
Thanks Prof - I was thinking aloud and had not seen your answer - but no. I was not aware that i = electrical current, or at least if at some stage I was, I had completely forgotten! That's my excuse anyway!
Change the second note (a) of ARI(a)s = melodies 'for a different one' - E, to get ARIES, as you already have it.
sorry JJ109 - I'm struggling to keep up - I must be the slowest typist around!
It's pretty cold here Ripper - but not quite freezing.

Thank you SO much everyone, sorry for the late reply but my computer wasn't 'sending' emails to let me know I had replies (if you see what I mean!)
