My experience is pretty well limited the choral literature. In that
genre the usual interpretation of the tenuto is one of subtle emphasis,
as an indication of phrasing.

Hi!
In finnish this symbol is called "viiva" or "tenuto".
But generally, tenuto means
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.
I would say that this is a more universal observation. E.g. the
interpretation of sfz , > and ^ also depend on the composer/era.
