"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.
