Embellish composition of notes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

festoon

'embellish' is the definition.
(festooning is a kind of embellishing)

'composition of notes' is the wordplay.
'composition' indicates an anagram.
'of'+'notes'='ofnotes'
'ofnotes' with letters rearranged gives 'FESTOON'.

(Other definitions for festoon that I've seen before include "Decorate with hanging ornaments" , "Hung garland" , "swag" , "Ornamental garland" , "Ornamental chain/garland" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
