That\'s right. The quavers go through the bars (acroos bar lines)

Hi!

It's called a hook. See the illustrations and explanations in this link: http://www.dsi.unifi.it/~moods/moods/mus_not.htm

"The duration of a note is conventionally represented by a relative value to the beat -- e.g., a note of an eighth (8th), a note of a quarter (4th), etc. The number of beats is stated on the basis of indications of tempo. The effective value of duration depends on:
- kind of notehead (open or filled);
- the presence or not of the stem;
- the presence or not of hooks (in groups of notes, beams, they are converted in bars);

(.....)

The beams are groups of notes connected with a large transversal line (simple of multiple depending on the hook value of the notes belonging to the beam). It is a different way to visualize set of notes to make easier the read of the notes but without a counterpart in the execution. The orientation of the bar among the notes is defined on the basis of well-known rules."

Hope this helps.

when it spans more than one measure. It's a simple explanation, but that's what it is.

On the same page Andrea mentions it says :
The tie is an arc between two notes at the same high. It states that the two notes must be considered as a unique note with duration equal to the sum of the durations of the notes linked. It is visually specified by using an arc among the note. A tie can be cut off at the end of the page, in this case it has to restart from middle of the arc;

See also notas punteadas, ligaduras in tbe page you yourself give in your question, and then imagine that done over a barline rather than in the same bar. It's used to fill that beat of the bar with the same note as before without repeating it. Quite hard to explain in writing!!

Maybe the fact that none of us seem to agree means that we either need more context or the text itself is rather ambiguous!!! All in all, we\'re aren\'t much help to the asker, are we!!! I agree that the Spanish word for tie is ligadura, but from the text that\'s what I understand the writer to mean.

I do not understand full, but just and alternative to consider
This crotchet symbol represents a quarter-note rest

if the meaning is the following:
a. A curved line connecting notes on a score to indicate that they are to be played or sung legato. b. A passage played or sung in this manner.

It's a Tie, if the meaning is the following:
Music. A curved line above or below two notes of the same pitch, indicating that the tone is to be sustained for their combined duration.

Former refers to phrasing, latter to duration of notes.

From your context, it looks like they\'re talking about the author\'s phrased his motifs by markings.

For a good example, see Beethoven\'s Piano Sonata Opus 13, Pathetique, First Movement. There are slurs all over. (This sonata kicks butt, too.)
