One note on the essence of right and wrong (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

incorrect

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

'wrong' is the definition.
(I know that wrong can be written as incorrect)

'one note on the essence of right and' is the wordplay.
'one note' becomes 'correct' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'the essence of' says to take the centre (essence can mean the middle or crux of something).
'right' becomes 'fix'.
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
The middle letter of 'fix' is 'i'.
'i'+'n'='in'
'correct' after 'in' is 'INCORRECT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incorrect that I've seen before include "Erroneous" , "Not accurate" , "False, wrong" , "Place of refuge" .)
