Set up for quiet back stove (10)
I believe the answer is:
prearrange
'set up' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'quiet back stove' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'back' becomes 'rear' (something's rear is its back).
'stove' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'p'+'rear'+'range'='PREARRANGE'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for prearrange that I've seen before include "set up in advance" , "Decide in advance" , "Agree in advance" .)
