Composes for Telegraph, perhaps taking class positions (8)

I believe the answer is:

typesets

'composes for telegraph perhaps' is the definition.
(arranges type for a newspaper)

'class positions' is the wordplay.
'class' becomes 'type' (both can mean a variety or kind).
'positions' becomes 'sets' ('set' can be a synonym of 'position').
'type'+'sets'='TYPESETS'

'taking' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
