Stuck again so any help appreciated. I've only inserted the definite letters.

Liveliness preceding beat music (4,4)
??L? / ??C?

Instrument taken from book before end of day (8)
??R???R?

You sure of the first 'R' in the second clue as
Psaltery (Psalter + Y) would fit?

Perhaps my definite letters weren't so definite and that's where I've been going wrong. many thanks.
