Crossword Genius

Score upset the creators (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchestrate

'score' is the definition.
(I know that orchestrate is a more specific form of the action score)

'upset the creators' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'creators'='thecreators'
'thecreators' is an anagram of 'ORCHESTRATE'.

(Other definitions for orchestrate that I've seen before include "Arrange scores" , "Arrange (for maximum effect)" , "Organise (a complex enterprise)" , "Arrange for a full band" , "Organise (music)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
