I thought the whole point of having a makri is to dump the job of making
sure the maaseh mitzvah is fulfilled on one person, so that everyone else
is freed up to be moved by the shofar. Otherwise, why would we need to
appoint someone to keep the toqeia' in sequence? If he messes up, anyone
from the minyan can "Nu! Shevarim!"

So, if timing the teqi'os against the (eg) shevarim-teru'ah between them
is something the minyan is maqpid about, shouldn't that timing be dumped
on the maqri as well?

Tir'u baTov!
