A glissando goes from note to note. A line from finger
to finger, is fingering, and good for a slide or silent
slide/guide, or simply to indicate the retention of a finger.

The real problem with lines from finger to finger is that
they look like crap. The 1- and -1 or 1- or -1 are all 
much better looking, clearer, better in every way. I've
asked for that since the 1.xxx versions at least. It has been
possible in the past, occasionally.  Regards, daveA
