N for November in the NATO phonetic alphabet

Thanks Lumen you've made my day - I was beginning to think I'd imagined the 'DIY ringtone'!

As someone who knows absolutely nothing about music, I am close to admitting defeat on this one. Having (eventually) completed the grid, I have the following sequence of potential notes, starting at 1 and going clockwise - C, C, A, B, C or E, E, D or G, E or G, C, C, A, B or E, C, G, F or G, C, E or G, G, C, E, G, E or G, C, E, A or D, C or E, E. I also have 5 radials where there are no potential notes. Google indicates a sequence beginning G, B, B, A, C, B, G which I cannot accommodate anywhere. Also this sequence eventually requires a fifth note, so it must be wrong. Could some kind soul please point me in the right direction

Hi 0pt0

I used just C B A G from outer to inner ring - these letters only appear in their respective rings (E for instance appears in 3 different rings) so it makes sense to me (in a musical box, this platter would contain pegs which "plucked" a metal harp-type thingy to play the note so each ring of the platter would only play one note hence the E would play a different note depending which ring it is in). I got 23 cells highlighted in total which matches other posts (C-10, B-2, A-3, G-8).

Hearer, many thanks. I see how it works now.

Hi everyone, I have happily filled the grid and found all the geographic items but am being completely bamboozled on which letter to change...any hints on this front would be welcome after hours of grid staring!
