I believe the answer is:

slurs

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'blots' is the first definition.
(I know this)

'smears on a music score' is the second definition.
'slurs' can be an answer for 'smears' ('slur' can be a synonym of 'smear'). I am unsure of the 'on a music score' bit.

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for slurs that I've seen is " Aspersions".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
