What happens to a note if has a line under it (it is underscored) and what is it called?
An example:

It's a tenuto. It's the same as the one's earlier in the piece that have it above the note, it's just below because of the direction of the staff. I usually take is as a slight dynamic emphasis, without it defining a melodic line like when you use an accent (>).

Yes, tenuto.
You should know Bach didn't litter his scores with such verbose articulation and dynamic markings.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
