I tried to avoid the issue by confining my remark to
the tenuto *mark*.  One can define "tenuto" as "holding"
and leave it at that, but the mark "-" is in the real
world composer-specific in meaning.  A frank admission
of that, no matter how worded, would be very nice in the
glossary.

At least there has been no change in the mark, has there?
Staccato changed from a wedge to a dot.  Carcassi tried to
avoid a problem there by putting "Staccato" at the beginning
of an etude instead of picking the wedge or the dot.  That direction is
almost universally ignored today.  :-)  daveA
