8d tone is better. The clue does specify 'not in a melody', so it can't be tune. My dictionary gives a meaning of note as an indication of feeling or mood.

I can't parse 'tune'

Thanks all
Parsed as UN (not) inside TE (note) - ie TUNE
TE isn't a melody.
Question Author
Just seen it. Note is TE with un in giving a melody i.e.tune
5a some reAPers + POINT (use-noun form)
Bookbinder: Who suggested that 'TE' represented melody ? I inferred that it meant 'note', as in doh,re,me etc
Correction - that should have read do,re,mi etc
