Records the music (5)
I believe the answer is:
notes
'records' is the definition.
(note is a kind of record)
'music' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'music' could be 'te' and 'te' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'nos' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for notes that I've seen before include "Observes; short comments" , "Memos; observes" , "Brief letters; money" , "eg E F G (mus.)" , "Written comments" .)
