A quick note (5)
I believe the answer is:
sharp
I believe this is a double definition.
'a quick' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'note' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for sharp that I've seen before include "British musician" , "Acidic; note" , "Keen - exactly" , "needing strings slackened?" , "woman's name in Vanity Fair" .)
