Setter's receiving benefit, needing a turn in the air (6)
I believe the answer is:
melody
'the air' is the definition.
('melody' can be a synonym of 'air')
'setter's receiving benefit needing a turn' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'setter' could be 'me' (the setter of the clue) and 'me' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for melody that I've seen before include "Sweet music, tuneful song" , "Strain" , "Refrain" , "It forms the core of a tune" , "A pleasant tune or song" .)
