Makes amends for note as misplayed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atones

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

'makes amends' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'note as misplayed' is the wordplay.
'note as' anagrams to 'ATONES'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atones that I've seen before include "Makes up for injury or offence" , "Makes up for, say sin" , "Make amends for sin" , "Makes up for injury inflicted" , "Makes amends using a stone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
