Traveller of note getting allowance (7)
I believe the answer is:
migrant
'traveller' is the definition.
(migrant is a kind of traveller)
'note getting allowance' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'mi' (as in 'do re mi'**).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'allowance' becomes 'grant' (I've seen this before).
'mi'+'grant'='MIGRANT'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for migrant that I've seen before include "Animal moving with the seasons" , "Traveller" , "Person who has moved residence to another place" , "One travelling to find work" , "Itinerant" .)
