I’d had the clue for 20A in my list of ideas for a while.  I decided to try coming up with two other grammar-related answers/punny clues, which turned into 36A and 56A.  Having said that, my favorite answer/clue combination is 64A – it’s not a pun but it’s a pretty fiendish misdirect!

The two seeds for this puzzle were 39A (a phrase I heard from my son) and 18A (the debate over which amuses me greatly).  My original plan was to make this a themeless, but then I realized that 39A could be part of the title of a well-known book about grammar.  Poof, a themed puzzle is born.

Musical grammar usually encompasses things like harmony, melody, and rhythm.  This puzzle, however, takes the term literally.
