You are referring below to the non-metrical chant for Akdamut.
In addition, there are several meteral melodies, which you'll
find in Baer and other sources. For more on these, see my
article: “From Mount Sinai to the Year 6000: A Study of the
Interaction of Oral Tradition and Written Sources in the
Transmission of an Ashkenazi Liturgical Chant (Akdamut),”
Rivista Internazionale di Musica Sacra, 20/1 (1999), pp.175-206
(corrected version: supplement to 20/2 (2000)
