As there are so many segolates, this is something
important for those who like to count syllables in the psalms.

"Like to count syllables in the psalms"??? You have it backwards. The fact that Adonai is assigned three notes makes it three syllables. Not the other way around.

There is a very big differences between counting syllables and the melodic structure of ancient music: one note-one syllable, all notes of equal length. Simple, really.

Even simpler, just follow the directions written into the MSS.
