המשנה מנהג ראשונים כמו פיוטים וקרוב"ץ שהנהיגו לומר אין צור חלף קרוב"ץ הקליר וזהו המנהג ואמר קרוב"ץ אחרות עובר משום אל תשיג גבול עולם אשר עשו אבותיך לא תשיג גבול רעך אשר גבלו ראשונים:

Medieval Jewish mysticism, translated by Sholom Alchanan Singer. Northbrook, Ill. Whitehall Co., 1971

He who changes time honored customs ¹ such as hymns and poetical insertions that all are accustomed to recite such as “God is unchanging” the poetical insert of the Kalir² which is the custom to recite, but he recited other poetical selections, he transgresses the injunctions “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set” (Prov. 22:28) and “Thou shalt not remove thy neighbors landmark, which they of old time have set” (Deut. 19:14).

footnotes: ¹ J. T. Erubin 3:9. ² This is not the Kalir. It is Samuel the Babylonian.
