Poorly transcribe the second slow movement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrawl

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

'poorly transcribe' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'second slow movement' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'slow movement' becomes 'crawl' (I've seen this before).
's'+'crawl'='SCRAWL'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrawl that I've seen before include "Hasty writing" , "careless writing" , "Untidy drawing" , "Quickly pen" , "Write poorly, bad handwriting" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
