Accurate summary, note (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

precise

'accurate' is the definition.
(I know that accurate can be written as precise)

'summary note' is the wordplay.
'summary' becomes 'precis' (precis is a kind of summary).
'note' becomes 'e' (musical note).
'precis'+'e'='PRECISE'

(Other definitions for precise that I've seen before include "Specific" , "Highly accurate and sharply exact" , "Detailed, exact" , "'Exact, accurate (7)'" , "Exact like recipes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
