Crossword Genius

Sound of delightful musical sequence (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suite

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musical sequence' is the definition.
'suite' can be an answer for 'sequence' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'musical' bit.

'sound of delightful' is the wordplay.
'sound of' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'delightful' becomes 'sweet' (both can mean pleasant or nice).
'sweet' is a homophone of 'SUITE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suite that I've seen before include "Train of followers" , "Adjoining rooms" , "Compensate for (faults)" , "Retinue; apartment" , "Set of rooms; retinue" .)
