I just bumped into a germane Yaavetz (in the Siddur, Arvis Motza'ei
Shabbos): "The custom is to sweetly drag out the tune of V'hu Rachum - even
if it is definitely evening - so as to escort the Queen and to send her away
with joy and song. For the same reason, some start the singing with
Lamenatzei'ach B'nginos Mizmor Shir. In the Ashkenazic congregations they
also add L'dovid Boruch Hashem (Tehillim 144 - MYG), and the Sefardim add
the "Eightfold" (Tehillim 119 - MYG); each according to its custom. Anyone
who adds in the praises of Hashem Yisbarach is praised, but these are not
obligatory (which is why the Arizal didn't bother to recite them. He was
certainly busy with Torah, and did not want to neglect his learning)."
