Musical term for a quarter note, possibly? (5)
I believe the answer is:
nonet
'musical term' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'quarter note possibly?' is the wordplay.
'quarter' becomes 'n' ().
'possibly?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'possibly' mean this).
'note' with letters rearranged gives 'onet'.
'n'+'onet'='NONET'
'for a' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nonet that I've seen before include "Tenon (anag.)" , "Work for nine players" , "Piece of music for nine" , "Piece for nine payers" , "Tonne (anag.); music for a group" .)
