    I suspect I know the answer but is it possible to have a separate

    Absolutely. I've done this for many years now.

    I have a Mac and ipad I use for work and I like Universal Control and
    shared notes etc across the devices. I also have a personal Apple
    music account that I use with my Mac, but can't see how to do the same
    with my ipad. I'd love to be wrong but I guess all Apple services on
    iPadOS all share the same - an only - account.

    Only by default. You can set the separate music account at Settings >
    Apple ID (at the top) > Media & Purchases.

    That's bloody brilliant. I would never have found that.

    Thanks! :)

    It's nice. We've used it for years to share purchases, but still have
    our own individua iCLoud accounts.
