Hello Abraham, Thanks a lot for these two solutions and the explanations!
It’s often difficult for me as an amateur musician to distinguish between slurs and phrasing slurs when I read music. And looking backwards, I’ve never used phrasing slurs in LP actually… So I’ll use the first snippet to stick to what the choir had originally (I’m transposing the piece). A nice w-e!
