A few clues I need help with:

10ac On a river passing through gully often (9) R???L???Y
(the online clue hint says that "passing through" is an inclusion indicator if that's any help)
12ac Put down recording sample with a piano part missing (6) ?E?O?E
(clue hint says that it is a subtraction clue)
17dn Lender's car abandoned by a person responsible for leader, perhaps (8) ?R???T?R


Thanks

Stig

10 regularly

10 on = re + gul(a +r)ly

17 c(a)r + editor

12a looks as if it should be demote (put down) with demo (recording sample) but I'm not seeing the rest, certainly not a subtraction!

12 demo t(ap)e
Not my idea of a subtraction, which usually refers to a subtraction anagram.

Thanks Ginge.

The terms used in the clue hints are defined on the site and a distinction is made between "subtraction" and "anagram with subtraction", so I'm ok with that.

Thanks again

happy solving.

Happy to help stig and I hope you're enjoying solvin;, it is addictive, extremely satisfying and pleasurable. Sorry if I caused you any confusion but I wouldn't have specifically categorised that type of clue (other than cryptic) but when I think about it, the terminology used makes sense.

@ busby thanks for the link, cheers mate and the booze recommendation on the other thread.

@Ginge......enjoy life...
