Congrats to ixion for parsing it perfectly, but judging by the comments, maybe in retrospect my 11dn was too convoluted for its own good. Though answer comprises 2 straight-forward words, I had never heard of the expression before, and the Chambers' definition was unexpected. The definition is "bass organ marking" with "bass" as in type of fish; "beat" as in exhausted; "with finale" is "with final e"; all following a synonym for "later".
Hope that makes it a bit clearer.

Please could someone give us a HUGE hint for Syzygy's 46ac??????

It's a double definition. I'd never come across this meaning of 'mugs' before, but 'mug up' is something you might do in preparation for these!

I was hesitating, as I was not at all confident of my answer, but bullfrog's hint seems to confirm it.

Thanks bullfrog - that confirms our thinking now i only have aristo's 24 ac to do !!!!!!!!!!

Me too, Bob's Mum
Though I have about 4 others SE to do as well

Just logged on and read this thread, it looks like it's working well.
I had to chuckle just then when reading peterm's post above where he's given a parse hint and accidentally helped you all a bit more than he realised, if you read it again you may spot.
