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
