Best Answer

Tenuto

This symbol has several meanings. It usually indicates that it be played for its full value, or slightly longer. It may indicate a separate attack on the note, or a slight dynamic emphasis, or it may indicate legato, in contrast to the dot of staccato. Combining a tenuto with a staccato dot indicates a slight detaching ("portato" or "mezzo staccato").

I've always heard it as a Dotted ___ Note. It symbolizes that you add half of the notes original value. For instance a Dotted Half note is 3 beats long.
