Hear, hear! The musicologist deviates from the original notation :-) You
definitely need to make an editorial remark…
Cheek aside, I think they are phrasing slurs and make sense as such.
Yours, Simon
I would definitely argue against removing the slurs from the vocal part.
Slurs serve two purposes: to show melisma and to show phrasing. In terms of
the lilypond input, they're coded differently; in terms of the image in the
score, they look the same.
Have a look at some of Vaughan Williams' "Songs of Travel" for use of this
sort of phrasing: "The Roadside Fire" is a good example.
