Moving one's items in intervals (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

semitones

'intervals' is the definition.
(I know this)

'moving one's items' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'ones'+'items'='onesitems'
'onesitems' anagrammed gives 'SEMITONES'.

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
