Musical note copied about a city (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

miami

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

'city' is the definition.
(Miami is an example)

'musical note copied about a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'note' could be 'mi' (as in 'do re mi') and 'mi' is found within the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mi' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for miami that I've seen before include "US town" , "US city" , "Prejudice in favour of one person or thing" , "Florida resort city, Beach" , "Port in Florida" .)
