Target Practice
(Published on 2. April 2026, 04:50 by NotSoMagnifique)
A few commenters mentioned on "Skip a Beat" that they wouldn't mind seeing some between lines in a similar configuration to the lockout lines in that puzzle. I couldn't keep it strictly to between lines and ratios, but I think it still turned out well.

Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Between lines - digits on a gray between line must be strictly between the values in the circles at the ends of the line.
- Renban - digits on a purple renban line form a consecutive set in some order.
- Dutch Whispers - neighboring digits on an orange Dutch Whisper line must differ in value by at least 4.
- Ratio Kropki - digits separated by a black Kropki dot must have a ratio of 2:1. No negative constraint.
- XV sums - digits separated by X sum to 10; digits separated by V sum to 5. No negative constraint.

Puzzle:
Solution code: Row 9 left to right
