Composition that’s not out of the way? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nonet
'composition' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'not out of the way?' is the wordplay.
'out of' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'out' mean this).
'the way?' becomes 'net' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'not' with its final letter taken off is 'no'.
'no'+'net'='NONET'
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nonet that I've seen before include "Band's" , "Instrumental group of nine players" , "piece to be performed" , "Music for nine instruments or voices" , "Ennead" .)
