Composer and the writer to continue, right? (5)

I believe the answer is:

ibert

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'composer' is the definition.
(I know that Ibert is a composer)

'the writer to continue right?' is the wordplay.
'the writer' becomes 'I' (the person who is writing these clues).
'to continue right?' becomes 'bert' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'i'+'bert'='IBERT'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for ibert that I've seen is " Jacques -, French composer; tribe (anag.)".)

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