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? Thanks, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
