Nobleman in tavern changed note (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baronet

'nobleman' is the definition.
(I know that baronet is a type of baron)

'tavern changed note' is the wordplay.
'tavern' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'changed' is an anagram indicator.
'note' with letters rearranged gives 'onet'.
'bar'+'onet'='BARONET'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for baronet that I've seen before include "Member of the British order of honour" , "A Bronte (anag.)" , "One's entitled" , "Sir Somebody-or-other?" , "Nobleman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
