Writes down some music notes at the centre (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notates

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

'centre' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'writes down some music notes at' is the wordplay.
'notes at' anagrams to 'NOTATES'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notates that I've seen before include "writes music" , "Writes, eg, musical symbols" , "records" .)

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