Crossword Genius

Assemble notes for broadcast (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raise

'assemble' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'notes for broadcast' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'res' (more than one re, a musical note).
'for broadcast' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'res' sounds like 'RAISE'.

(Other definitions for raise that I've seen before include "Exalt" , "rally" , "jack up" , "Erect; grow" , "Increase; elevate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
