Crossword Genius

Move tried on in performance (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rendition

'performance' is the definition.
(I know that rendition is a type of performance)

'move tried on in' is the wordplay.
'move' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'moves' mean this).
'tried'+'on'+'in'='triedonin'
'triedonin' anagrammed gives 'RENDITION'.

(Other definitions for rendition that I've seen before include "covert if extraordinary" , "Interpretation (of e.g. song)" , "Account" , "Dramatic performance" , "Handing over of prisoners to countries where torture is allowed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
