This one was unusually easy, but nevertheless I'm bewildered by a few of the clues.
14a: Craft this tune? Croat folk dancing (4) The answer is obvious, but I don't get "craft this tune".
26a: The old quit part in play, a part requiring backflip (4) This is the only one I'm not sure about. I have APA_ and assume that it's APAY, but can quit mean the same as requite?
19d: Isopteran, half to take note of, millions disposed of (7) Again, the answer is obvious, but I'm experiencing a brain-freeze.

Thanks, sudokulover. That's what I figured, but I didn't know whether APAY meant quit. My OED has requite, so I'm assuming that they're synonymous.

I can't really explain how 14ac works, but the answer is an anagram of croat folk, less the letters of craft. I, too, don't get 19dn.

Oh, thanks, peterm. Kolo also refers to the music, and dancing refers here to the letters of Croat folk, so "this tune" is kolo.

I was trying to think of a word that's twice as long as termite, with an M or two in it (to subtract), but perhaps half=term, in which case to take note of might be ITEM (?).
