Blots or smears on a music score (5)
I believe the answer is:
slurs
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.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
