Crossword Genius

A time in which you'll find troubled editors being most skilful (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adroitest

'most skilful' is the definition.
(adroit can mean skilful or adept)

'a time in which you'll find troubled editors' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'in which you'll find' is an insertion indicator.
'troubled' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'t'='at'
'editors' anagrammed gives 'droites'.
'at' enclosing 'droites' is 'ADROITEST'.

'being' is the link.
