Crossword Genius

The best part of a play (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead

This clue is a double definition.

'the best part' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a play' is the second definition.
(I know that lead is a type of turn)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lead that I've seen before include "Guide, direct" , "Be in charge of; metal" , "Guide the heavy metal" , "shot maybe" , "Starring role - kind of pencil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
