<p>I would drop it too. There are plenty of examples of mistakes in these books. I would not think to much about it. </p>

<p>Yes, I was thinking it meant hold the barre, but I would let go after playing the f#, then play the d while back in first position. Otherwise it all becomes a little awkward. I wonder if the upward arrow is an equivalent of <strong><em>loco</em></strong> which you sometimes see, meaning head back to the nut area.There's certainly no discussion of it in his preface. </p>

<p>Presuming that you have already read all the instructions given in the book and found no special explanation, it looks to me like a continuation of the position barre to the end of the measure. Most use a dashed or dotted line with a downward hook at the end. The Dobsons had a reputation and it is possible that this was printed on the cheap with the typeset boy making due with what he had on hand.</p>
