help:
23. Register old notes sequentially (6)

T??L?O

Thanks.

[Neveracrossword]

I think it's Trillo, probably a musical term. Till, register +O, old. The preamble mentions omitted letters.

Thank you both, Neveracrossword and dannyk.

I have never heard of 28a as a scale.

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, glad I could help with 23. I was too lazy to check the definition! I think 23's a 'scale' as in a chart, a means of showing proportions etc...

[hankir]

You are right Neveracrossword.

TCD does not show it but Google defines it as such.
I have five missing letters.
Is that correct?
Preamble says 4.
Rag-tag now makes sense.

[Neveracrossword]

Hankir, thanks. My copy is pretty messy now, but it looks as if I have 4 missing letters.

[hankir]

Thanks Neveracrossword.

I have 17a and 23a with the first letter.

10d and 19d with second.
30d with the third letter.

tea can be char as well as cha ... so the R isn't missing in this wordplay

[hankir]

Thanks roslyn.
I grew up calling tea, cha or chai.

I'll add char to my list.
