The notes to which 'flesh' and 'keep' are associated with in the hymn
are half notes. For the guitars we are using quarter notes to provide a
more melodic finger picking pattern. So I don't see why I need to put in
a slur since in guitar music, see classical guitar, a slur indicates
where one note is plucked by a finger and the second note at the end of
a slur is pressed with a hammer action by another finger. I do not want
a hammer action. I want to indicate that each note is played with
fingerpicking.

I am trying to learn how to produce guitar music for hymns that don't
have it so I want to try and learn on my own for starters. Thanks.
