A big one to note? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toe

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

'a big one' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'to note?' is the wordplay.
'note?' becomes 'e' (musical note**).
'to'+'e'='TOE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toe that I've seen before include "Pedal digit" , "Conform-...the line" , "compliantly put on line" , "low digit" , "Digit on foot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
