Whose noted contribution is valued still in PC World? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

copland

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

'whose noted contribution is valued still' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'pc world?' is the wordplay.
'pc' becomes 'cop' (I've seen this in other clues).
'world?' becomes 'land' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cop'+'land'='COPLAND'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for copland that I've seen before include "See 9" , "Aaron -, US composer" , "music composer" , "Notes expert" , "Aaron -; Rodeo, Billy the Kid composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
