How the clue works
Look at Noted progression — that's your definition, pointing at a type of musical scale. The wordplay is a cheeky bit of wordplay on "without cabbage": "without" gives you MINUS and "cabbage" gives you KALE, so you've got MINUS KALE. Then the being mentioned part tells you to say it aloud — and MINUS KALE sounds just like MINOR SCALE.
