<div>The davening on Hoshana Rabbah takes on some but not all the charcteristics of Yom Tov. Were any specific criteria used to determine which parts were changed to YT and which were left like a chol day? Specifically, in nussach askenas, we add the extra tehillim in p'sukei d'zimra, but don't say Nishmat. We use the weekday kedusha for Shacharit but Yom Yov kedusha for mussaf. </div>
<div>And since it is questionable that we don't duchen in chutz l'aretz except on YT, why don't we do so on HR?</div>
