Morphology
The meaning 'relative duration of a musical note' is directly compositional from 'note' (a musical symbol/pitch) and 'value' (time‐value or duration). As a domain-specific noun phrase, a B1 learner who knows both constituent meanings can infer it refers to the duration assigned to a note, so the expression is immediately interpretable from its parts.
Etymology
Note value comes from music where each written note is given a value in time, so some notes are 'worth' more beats than others. So note value means 'how long a note lasts'.
