# If a congregation didn’t say Kol Nidrei until after nightfall of Yom Kippur the congregation may say it. <ref>BeYitzchak Yikra on S”A 306:12 because it’s a need for the congregation even though one usually can’t do Hatarat Nedarim on Shabbat (S”A 341:1). </ref>

# It’s preferable to minimize in piyutim and selichot in order to start Mussaf before six and half hours. <Ref> S”A 620:1 writes one should minimize piyutim and selichot in order to finish Mussaf by the end of the seventh hour. Even though some achronim explain S”A simply that one should start Mussaf by the beginning of the seventh hour (midday), many achronim say that the term S”A used wasn’t precise and really he means the time of mincha which is six and a half hours. That is the opinion of Mishna Brurah 620:2 and Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 104). Mishna Brurah 620:1 says that if it is the end of the sixth hour one may skip Avinu Malkenu in order to say Mussaf by the end of the seventh hour. </ref> However, if one did wait until after six and a half hours one should say Mussaf first and then Mincha unless nine and a half hours passed in which case Mincha should go first. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 620:2 rules like the opinion of the Ri quoted by S”A 286:4 (see [[Mussaf]] page for lengthy explanation).</ref>
