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
