Notes objection to public presentation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debut

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'public presentation' is the definition.
'debut' can be an answer for 'presentation' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'public' bit.

'notes objection' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'de' (two musical notes).
'objection' becomes 'but' (as in 'no ifs, no buts').
'de'+'but'='DEBUT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for debut that I've seen before include "Initial appearance" , "First appearance, coming out" , "First public appearance of performer" , "First appearance, a coming-out" , "Introduction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
