Quiet, living in a place such as Lincoln? (9)
I believe the answer is:
president
'lincoln?' is the definition.
(lincoln is a kind of President)
'quiet living' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano').
'living' becomes 'resident'.
'p'+'resident'='PRESIDENT'
'in a place such as' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for president that I've seen before include "Head, of a republic say" , "such as Bush" , "Leader of a republic" , "Trump, perhaps" , "Head of US company - tried pens (anag)" .)
