I am certainly not an expert on Massoretic tradition, but according to the 
Hebrew text
in my Bibleworks 4.0, there are three sets of vowels used with the 
Tetragrammaton.
See Gen. 15:2, Deu. 3:24; and Gen. 2:4 for the three variations (I realize, 
however,
that the composite sheva in Gen.15:2 is essentially the same as the simple 
sheva in
Deu.3:24, comprising the vowels from elohim). Note also the insertion of 
cholem in
BaYHoVaH in Jer. 3:23. and LaYHoVaH in Ex.13:12 et al.
