A soft fruit to come to light (6)
I believe the answer is:
appear
'come to light' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a soft fruit' is the wordplay.
'soft' becomes 'p' (musical abbreviation for 'piano').
'fruit' becomes 'pear' (pear is a kind of fruit).
'a'+'p'+'pear'='APPEAR'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for appear that I've seen before include "be published" , "Become visible or seem" , "Perform" , "Seem - come into view" , "hove in sight" .)
