I heard that R' Avraham Elya's tune gained some currency in Yekkishe
circles. Sheet music for the beginning, from BeIqvos haYir'ah
<http://www.aishdas.org/raek/shirHaMaalos.GIF>, and a poorly
instrumented version played by a HS student of RYGB's
<http://www.aishdas.org/raek/sssss.mp3>

So, given your own cultural background, do you know the melody well
enough to know how well it preserves the diqduq?

(Since RAEK was the kind of person who paid a lot of attention to
girsa issues when learning gemara, I thought he could be a medaqdeiq
too.  <http://www.daat.ac.il/daat/kitveyet/beyt/16.doc>)

An enlightening and enjoyable Chanukah!
