doh

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

'note' is the definition.
(alternative spelling of 'do' as in do re mi)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doh that I've seen before include "whoops!" , "an exclamation from someone who's annoyed with himself" , "Homeric grunt of annoyance" , "Note; exclamation" , "First note of major scale in music" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
