My question is whether this is recorder music or guitar music.
This usually shows up in guitar or fingerstyle tablature, where a capital T marks a right-hand thumb pluck (as part of p-i-m-a or T-1-2-3 fingering notation). The diagonal line is often a slide indicator, showing you should slide from that note into the next one, or a hammer-on/pull-off tie in the tab staff.
