Nonsensical legal or musical term (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

allegro

'musical term' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nonsensical legal or' is the wordplay.
'nonsensical' is an anagram indicator.
'legal'+'or'='legalor'
'legalor' with letters rearranged gives 'ALLEGRO'.

(Other definitions for allegro that I've seen before include "Brisk movement or passage" , "To be performed in brisk style" , "(In music) a brisk and lively tempo" , "Austin" , "(In music) briskly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
