Barrel strip (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stave

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stave that I've seen before include "Delay before off" , "Stanza of a poem" , "System of five horizontal lines in written music" , "Musical staff" , "Set of lines on which musical notes are written" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Independent and the LA Times.
