Extensive Definition
A retake is a symbol used in musical
notation. For the violin and other bowed string
instruments it directs the performer of the music passage to
lift the bow (leading
to its informal name, a "lift") and reset it so that the bowing of
the next note is the same as the previous note. It is commonly used
to indicate a pause in bowing without using a rest. It is
placed above the staff.
