clara

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

'schumann who scored' is the definition.
'clara' can be an answer for 'schumann' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.

'with charlie croft?' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'charlie' becomes 'C' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'croft?' becomes 'lara' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'c' put next to 'lara' is 'CLARA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clara that I've seen before include "Butt" , "Home town of the Taoiseach" , "- - Bow, silent film star" , "Woman" , "Schumann" .)
