THEME: six longest words spelled only with the letters of musical notes
GOOD ONES:
They're graphically represented {& theme} NOTES [the grid employs blocks shaped as notes]
Took the wrong way? STOLE [oldie but goodie]
Head of the produce section? CABBAGE
Newspaper fig. CIRC [not a person but a number]
BTW:
High-five relative DAP [if legitimate dictionaries do not define the limits of Xwords, is there any point in not allowing JWQXZ as an entry? And what's wrong with DAP as a product for filling holes and cracks?]
Romantic activity BUSSING [yes, very Colonial; I'd go with "Supreme Court stupidity"]
Old-style warning ALARUM [most appropriate given 5-Across' POE wrote "Bells" wherein ALARUM bells scream]
Rather little A LACK OF [It can work, but I think rather little of this clue for it's lack of precision. Lack=none; little=some.]
RATING: ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
