Hi James,In choral music, I've noticed that the composer will sometimes use this notation to indicate that the singer is not to breathe in-between two particular words.In my experience, the more standard/accepted way is to have a dotted slur between the notes, with the lyric-slur reserved for true elisions. In fact, I’ve *never* seen what you’re talking about, despite having sung in and composed for choirs for thirty years. Do you have references/scans that you can share?
See the post by David Wright in the other sub-thread with ‘Ding dong merrily on high’ as a quite sensible example.
Best, Simon
