Put notes back and finish meal (5)
I believe the answer is:
sited
'put' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'notes back and finish meal' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'tis' (more than one ti, a musical note).
'back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'finish' indicates taking half.
'meal' becomes 'feed' (feed can mean food).
'tis' backwards is 'sit'.
'feed' halved is 'ed'.
'sit'+'ed'='SITED'
(Other definitions for sited that I've seen before include "Put" , "Placed, located" , "Situated" , "installed" , "Positioned" .)
