Well done, thank you! Adding slurs in other places gives the same 
alignment there.

And checking a couple of books (including the meticulous German "Ars 
Musica") shows that I could have known.

(An alternative could still be to centre the syllables under the first 
slurred note. But apparently that is not common practice.)
