Made notes with no signs of worry (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

composed

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

'made' is the definition.
(composing is a kind of making)

'notes with no signs of worry' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'notes' could be 'ed' and 'ed' is found in the answer.
'no' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for composed that I've seen before include "Made a score" , "What poet did" , "What Gershwin did" , "Calm and collected" , "arranged" .)

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