Hi hartox and welcome,

For future, you could have added this as a reply to your original post, it's all together then and makes more sense for everyone. :)

Clue: Music composition test brings hurt

[chelle7272]

cath - do you have an explanation for 'pain' - can't see the wordplay?

[mazie]

and heres me looking a 4 letter word for sorry ................... Welcome hartox

[chelle7272]

Hmmmm AHrtox is your clue correct?
Just checked on Bigdave and the clue reads;

Heartless saying brings hurt (4)

[chelle7272]

*Hartox

[mazie]

The mention of JD getting you all flustered chelle ?

[bulliver]

maim ('maxim' minus the 'x')

[factor-fiction]

So the "Heartless saying brings hurt " version of the clue must be correct.
How odd- hartox's other post definitely refers to a "musical composition test"

[ubasses]

21d is music composition test enfs with fine arrangement

[chelle7272]

lol mazie that must be it - watching him on tv last night....

Yes factor, strange because I can't find a clue with 'musical compostion' in it to explain any error.

[bulliver]

The clue has been confused with 21d...

21d music composition test ends with fine arrangement (5)

[chelle7272]

ah thanks ubasses :)

[chelle7272]

and bulliver :)

[bulliver]

21d motet

[cathfromsaron]

soooo confused now!

i know maim is one answer ... what clue and gaps are outstanding?

[factor-fiction]

All's well that ends well. Looking at hartox's past posts I doubt he'll be able to come on the thread to comment as he has never returned to any of his threads. I assume he has IE6 which seems to cause the problem

ok x
