A sign indicating that a note or rest is to be held. Generally, the note or rest can be held anywhere from the length of time given by the rhythm of the note or rest to as long as the performer desires. A typical length could be twice the marked length, although generally the performer gets to "feel" the appropriate length rather than calculate it mathematically.
Also commonly known as a "bird's eye."
