I have seen scores by Mozart with vertical dashes, but I`m ashamed to say I
don`t recall specifically what they mean. Could Tony P. enlighten us please.
Is it an instruction used only in the strings? And if as Tony says that the
tenuto mark, (the short horizontal line) often has the same meaning as the
vertical dash in classical music, would he please give us an example. These
two different symbols must surely have caused some confusion in early
scores.

Best,

Tony W.
