Put some notes in order? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arrange

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

'put' is the definition.
(arranging is a kind of putting)

'some notes in order?' is the wordplay.
'some notes in' becomes 'ar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'order?' becomes 'range' (synonyms).
'ar'+'range'='ARRANGE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for arrange that I've seen before include "Put in order; make plans" , "Orchestrate - order" , "Put in order - organise" , "Put in systematic order" , "Plan, organize" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
