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

Matakari, 15.22 yesterday...

Ok, that's clear, I have the CA ( California) site of the GGB, that makes 18 cells to shade. I am looking for the final 8. Is part of it in 12d: If so, how do I account for the rest?

Knock, knock, is anyone there? I want to put this one to rest! Ok, that's clear, I have the CA ( California) site of the GGB, that makes 18 cells to shade. I am looking for the final 8. Is part of it in 12d: If so, how do I account for the rest?

5 braun?

 5d was answrred a day or 2 ago

Just raun I recall??

Matakari, as alluded to earlier...include the towers.. .

Question Author

Ok, just wanted to be sure! It's done! And thanks again, all, for the patient and selfless tutoring! I'm off to the Genius to see how far I can reach!

Matakari, glad  I finished it off for you -it was very worrying when you said you had only 18 cells!

Question Author

I've been staring at the first tower for a long time, but did not see the ever elusive abbreviation! 

Thanks, Matakari. I'm sure you did the appropriate shading with great enthusiasm? 

PS Here's hoping you enjoy the Genius, and fare a bit better.

It's great when the experts here are willing to parse it on

[I'll get my coat]

Thanks, Canary. I've been doing crosswords for decades, but parsing is often such sweet sorrow! 

I'm sure everyone is fed up with answering questions on this now, but I'm having trouble with the shading. I have the two structures, the ocean and the abbreviation for the state, but that comes to 24 cells. Not 26. What am I missing?

Thank you.

Cloverjo, I appropriately shaded the structure itself (with the state at the end) and the two towers. That gave me the right number (I think there were overlapping letters). 

Sorry, Cloverjo - my 'structure' referred to the ... big long thing, the theme...

Thanks, Neveracrossword. 
Doh!

Thanks, Cloverjo,  I was puzzling over 'the ocean'....! I then wondered if you were just keen to carry on the 'appropriate' shading...

Yes, I'll have to print it out again. I'd already coloured the ocean blue.

Thanks, Cloverjo - I bet your picture was lovely... but just not quite right!
