Likro Es HaHallel or Ligmor Es HaHallel ?

Was the original nusach among Bnei Ashkenaz (as well as Sephardim), "Ligmor Es HaHallel"?

I have a reprinted Hagadah from the Diskin Orphan Home - I forget which one but it is German, 13th or 14th century - which has a few interesting Brachos. I believe it goes according to the Maharam MiRothenburg. This is all from memory.

1) It has al Netilas Yodayim by either Urchatz or Rochtzoh
2) It has al Rechitzas Yodayim by the other of the two
3) It has al Nekiyas Yodayim before Barech (I guess they washed Mayim Acharonim)
4) Before Hallel in Magid it has Likro es Hahallel
5) Before Hallel said after Barech it has Ligmor es Hahallel

Nusach Ashkenaz has always been "Likro" and not "Ligmor".

This is puzzling. In machsor Wormaisa it says to say 'ligmor' when you say full hallel and 'likro' when you say hallel with dilugim. The same is written in the Tur ch. 644. The siddur of Rav Hirtz Treves only prints 'ligmor'. So despite the P'sak of the Mahram of Rothenburg, how is it fair to say that the minhag of Ashkenas was always to say 'likro'?
