Conductor confused situation, overlooking line and metre (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maestro

'conductor' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for maestro that I've seen before include "Virtuoso" , "Eminent musician" , "special performer" , "Master of an art, or a great conductor of music" , "ace" .)
