21a Interval of calm between Pope's Day One and Day Five.

I have ?e?e?p? but at least one of these letters must be wrong as I can find no meaniful solution.

seen suggested as

Interval of calm between Pope’s Day One and Day Five (7)
{SEVENTH} – a musical interval comes from a word meaning calm placed between S(unday) (day 1)and TH(ursday) (day 5) in Pope Gregory XIII’s calendar

Same crossword.
19d 'Sovereign' with Peter say, in the saddle, is very impressive. I now have ?t?n?i?g. I have tried all possible meanings of Peter but nothing seems to blend with the limited answers theses letters give.

Looks like Stonking from the link

[Calibax]

Stonking - inpressive
St (saint Peter)
On - in saddle
King -Sovereign

Thanks for the link. I posted my last question before I saw it. Have now finished but I agree with Big Dave - some clues are less than satisfactory. For example I would take 'up' to mean being in the saddle, but not 'on'. I would not have got 10a even if I sat until the CO(ws) come home!
