Any help parsing these would be handy.
10a With energy, note, old German chaser's a stayer (7)
Endurer?
17a Big cat seeing gap, quietly escaping into yard, briefly (6)
Looks like it could be 'cougar', can't see why though, apart from the definition.
6d I'll be seeing you around Thursday, in passing (2,3,3).
By the way? By the bye?

StrangelyBrown I can manage 17 - It's Cour(t) , yard briefly, with Ga (p), quietly escaping being P for piano, quiet, taken off.

6 Bye Bye, I'' be seeing you, with Th, Thursday, inside. By Th e Bye, in passing.

10 E, energy, N, note and Durer, old German chaser, etcher,sculptor.

Thank you Malone, I didn't know that meaning of chaser.

StrangelyBrown, glad I could help. I don't know where I came across 'chaser', I probably read it in a book! I would have had to look it up then. Chambers says, of 'chase' - 'to enchase, to decorate (metal) by engraving'.

Help parsing 22a please. Lots of ladies, perhaps, one visiting old grandmother of Samuel (10). JOHNSONIAN, I get Johnson, and I in Nan gives the ending, (with an 'n' too many?) but Lots of ladies?

It might mean "johns" as in 'toilets' or 'ladies'(loos)

I've found this very, very difficult, not halfway there yet. I've got clues with lots of crossing letters but still can't see the answer, eg:
1d Mends fencing in king's colours (5) s-e-s
9d One visibly upset crossing mountain, meeting British person descending it? (9) --i-o-b-r
18a Old statesman rarely any take to a first (8).
Suppose it might be Kenyatta, I can see where the 'atta' comes from but not the 'keny'

Also, ref 50a, does anyone use the phrase 'Dot ones i's and cross ones t's'? I thought it was 'Dot the i's and cross the t's' (but 'mind ones p's and q')

1d 4 letter word for "mends" around K(ing) - definition is "colours" as in 'colours ones judgement' or 'alters ones views'.

18a anagram/"rarely" of any + take + T(o) (at first)
