Crossword Genius

Composed, then stopped! (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawn up

I believe this is a double definition.

'composed' is the first definition.
('draw up' can be a synonym of 'compose')

'stopped' is the second definition.
(drawing up is a kind of stopping)

'then' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drawn up that I've seen before include "Come to a halt" , "Stopped" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
