 2. If you really want to have that slur (it is appropriate at times),

I would say that there is almost no situation where a slur is appropriate to indicate legato to a singer. Its almost universal meaning is to show melisma, as I said. If it's not for this purpose, it's for phrasing/breathing and a phrasing slur would be appropriate.


Thank you all. I learnt a few things again. Most important being the difference between a legato and a phrasing slur. In the real score I am working on (the Twinkle thing was just a tiny example) I needed both.

In the Twinkle example a phrasing slur (or no slur at all) would be the correct choice.
