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

'wrongly recorded?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'a piano note' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'piano' could be 'p' (musical abbreviation) and 'p' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'note' is 'onte' which is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
