Stuck on 17d and 12ac - can anyone help?

Tara, can you please give the clues, number of letters and any you already have?

17d: Will composer try album-oriented rock? That'll consume time (8)
So far I have ?????T??

12ac: Good knight in power with attractive quality (7)
for which I have ??N???T
Thank you and good luck!

I've got BENEFIT and TESTATOR

Amazing. Surely I could have got 'testator' eventually, but 'benefit' would only ever have been a guess. 'Beef' for 'power' and 'it' for 'attractive quality' but 'n' for 'good knight'??

The 'N' is chess notation for Knight (because the King is 'K').
'Good' is the definition (for Benefit)

Thank you Jim and Bullfrog. I'm not a chess-player but still should have been able to work that out.
