Constructor's Note
This is my second midi cryptic (not counting a prior themed cryptic). I find midis far more challenging to construct in myriad ways. I hope it is logical and accessible, even if a little more challenging, for the solver. I always welcome and appreciate feedback. Also: let me know if you are interested in collaborating with others to construct, edit, test-solve, etc. Thanks and happy solving!
