Notes journey gets ridicule (6)
I believe the answer is:
deride
'ridicule' is the definition.
(to deride is to ridicule or mock)
'notes journey' is the wordplay.
'notes' becomes 'de' (two musical notes).
'journey' becomes 'ride' (ride is a kind of journey).
'de'+'ride'='DERIDE'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for deride that I've seen before include "Ridicule, scoff at" , "Poke fun at" , "Jeer, make little of" , "Jeer, belittle" , "Knock" .)
