Create a vibrato effect as part of a score (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quaver

I believe this is a double definition.

'create a vibrato effect' is the first definition.
(shake or tremble)

'part of a score' is the second definition.
(musical note)

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for quaver that I've seen before include "Tremble - half a crotchet" , "Half-crotchet" , "Shake; a short note" , "Tremble; musical note" , "(Of voice) tremble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
