Thanks Nytram and Terry!
I can see where you are both coming from (as they say!) but don't think either are a help at the moment (unless I am a mile out with three other answers!)
Going down I have EMBELLISHMENT, EASED, & CRESCENDO, which I am 75% sure of and which might be of use to others doing this Xword.
I will bear in mind what you have said, and keep working on it.
THANKS AGAIN! Chris.
