Clear 3N, corrected to 4N.

Just kidding.

I don't know - 4N should probably be natural here - just the same as (4 minor) - 4N is.

It looks like we need more cards in the bidding box.

Previously, people have found Double cards marked both "D" and "X", and suggested one for takeout and one for penalties.

Now it looks like we need two or three 4NT cards, marked "4NT (natural)", "4NT (RKCB)", and "4NT (T/O)". ;)

Yes, 4NT should be natural here and 4♥ should agree ♦ to go further...

4NT natural is probably best, but it was too difficult to bid it for me with 1st time partner. 4H didn't seel to make sense so I did bid 4S.
Partner did have something like:
xx=v=KQTxxxx=Axxx

Isn't this a "fit non-jump" with spades and long diamonds, intended to show the shape in case opps go on in their suit? I bid 4♠.
