Quietly lifted and commended (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

praised

'commended' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quietly lifted' is the wordplay.
'quietly' becomes 'p' (musical symbol).
'lifted' becomes 'raised' ('raise' can be a synonym of 'lift').
'p'+'raised'='PRAISED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for praised that I've seen before include "Lauded, extolled" , "Expressed approval of" , "Despair (anag.)" , "Expressed admiration for" , "Spoke well of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
