Perhaps Nos. of consecutive notes, dispatched in reverse order (7)
I believe the answer is:
denials
'perhaps nos of consecutive' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'notes dispatched in reverse order' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'notes' could be 'de' (two musical notes) and 'de' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for denials that I've seen is " Rejections".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
