The new edition of RYE's siddur (Yerushalaim 5754) does not include it in
the instruction RYE gives for Elul (or in his instructions after the Shir
Shel Yom). (The fact that it is included in the text, after the Shir Shel
Yom, is no R'ayah - the editors made the Nusach consistent with our own.) I
didn't have the time to check through Tishrei, but I guess that if it isn't
in Elul (where he does mention the minhag to blow Shofar) then it isn't in
Tishrei either.
