Musical scores for No 1s? (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

8

haircuts

'no 1s?' is the definition.
(number one is a type of short haircut)

'musical scores' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'hair' (I've seen this before).
'scores' becomes 'cuts'.
'hair'+'cuts'='HAIRCUTS'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for haircuts that I've seen before include "Trims" , "Barbers' services" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
