Performed, using pedal around end of ditty (6)
I believe the answer is:
played
'performed' is the definition.
(playing is a kind of performing)
'using pedal around end of ditty' is the wordplay.
'using' is an anagram indicator (the letters used in a different way).
'around end of' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'ditty' is 'y'.
'pedal'+'y'='pedaly'
'pedaly' is an anagram of 'PLAYED'.
(Other definitions for played that I've seen before include "Participated in game" , "Indulged in a recreational activity" , "Gamed; laid (a card)" , "Fiddled or tampered (with)" , "Participated in games or music" .)
