Crossword Genius

Tempo new to large town (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

preston

'large town' is the definition.

'tempo new' is the wordplay.
'tempo' becomes 'presto' (musical tempo).
'new' becomes 'n'.
'presto'+'n'='PRESTON'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for preston that I've seen before include "Town in Lancashire" , "English city" , "Town on the Ribble" , "city (as of 2002)" , "City in Lancashire" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
