Well, through the (Slurs) documentation one is somehow led to believe 
slurs and phrasing slurs are practically the same and only separated for 
nesting purposes. I was quite surprised to only recently learn that they 
for example behave differently at line breaks.
And I have seen (and done) a quite inconsistent use of slurs or phrasing 
slurs.
So it would be nice if at this point of the NR it was clearly pointed 
out that there _are_ differences for the handling of melismas.

As said in the OP I'd place it before or after the second example, i.e. 
to the paragraph about slurs causing melismas.
