Crossword Genius

One piece of music or twenty (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

score

I believe this is a triple definition!

'one piece' is the first definition.
(score is a kind of piece)

'of' acts as a link.

'music' is the second definition.
(score is a kind of music)

'or' acts as a link.

'twenty' is the third definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for score that I've seen before include "Chalk up - twenty" , "Twenty; scratch" , "Musical composition in written form" , "Mark; twenty" , "Points in a match" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
