[HANASHIR:12175] Re: V'ahavtah and trope

As long as it's internally consistent (e.g. NOT repeating a munach where it 
doesn't exist in the text), it will teach them how trope works.  Changing the 
particular motifs (as we do for HHD, Purim, etc.) isn't usually a problem.  
But, if it is, having a Bar/Bat Mitzvah use a different trope than what is 
usually heard in a particular synagogue, if done well, can be a joy.
