Finding this one tough. No answer lengths given.
1. Something in tract, literary? Wasted hour absorbing that
2. Piccolos lose out in display of sound forms?
3. Form of transport hand carries around? Not right (four hands needed!) (2 words)
4. Tchaikovsky, say, unhappy after piano appears a shade German? (2 words)
5. Mother upset about tenor’s nerve
6. Satisfactory? That’s Nick’s decision (3 words)
Thanks.

Yes, it's the first of the down clues but it takes up all of the 2nd column, hankir (I should have been more careful how I phrased that hint}.
The various symmetries are best ignored until the grid has been filled - they're no help at all in filling it (and might even hinder the process).
That's why I'm unhappy about the lack of answer lengths here. In a 'normal' carte-blanche, rotational symmetry is a great help, but answer lengths sometimes make it too easy (it doesn't take long to place bars around the grid without having to solve the clues for the entries that go there).

Just to be clear - the whole grid doesn't show symmetry, the grid is 3 separate rectangles joined together and each one shows a different symmetry (one has the same bar pattern when it's turned upside down, one looks the same either side of a central fold, and one looks the same either side of a diagonal fold).
