STEVE MOSSBERG #7: ON AND OFF

[oldjudge]

A fun puzzle which was probably a little easier than advertised. A few of the clues seemed a little strange to me, but Steve has his own style and his puzzles are certainly worth the time it takes to solve them.

Enjoyed! A very nice challenge. Not quite sure of the parsing for 13a.

[oldjudge]

13A was high on my questionable wordplay list. If it was football the ref would have called an illegal shift.

[ellgee]

I think 13A is:
"Snoop" = PRY
"shifting dynamic" = change P (piano) to F (forte), with "dynamic" being a musical term

[oldjudge]

That makes sense—thanks ellgee!

Enjoyed!
