Still looking for the anagram - thought I had it with 8d and 13ac - but one letter was wrong

AJT - the word you are looking for is a proper name similar to 22a (8 letters), another scale.
Google all the unclued lights and that should lead you to it. If not I'm staying at my computer now for the next hour so I'll watch the site.

Thank you, S - got it now. I'd never heard that name. Now I can have a cup of coffee

Thanks SL. I'll get cracking over a cup of tea.

Right, that's it, apart from 39a - is this a synonym for 'weak'? Rather puzzled by the wordplay on many of them, especially 6d, 19d, 41a. Also some of the unclued words are not exactly those used in the named item?

Yes it is a synonym for weak clevertask - google the unclued lights together - they do all come under the same heading.
41a sneer(be scornful) backwards at the end of the clue?

Yes, it's a synonym for weak. It fits with all the others but I don't get 36ac as it doesn't feature on the list I've seen. Any ideas?

teenieleek & clevertask try this link http://www.cdera.org/doccentre/fs_earthquakes.php

Finished almost, including the anagram. Had never heard of him though. One letter missing, central one in 21ac never heard of this place either - gosh I'm ignorant!

teenieleek - perhaps it's a synonym for "rather"
