Mishnah
One that made the blessings (of Musaf) and afterwards got a Shofar should do the Tekiah, Teruah and Tekiah, Tekiah, Teruah, and Tekiah 3 times.
Yerushalmi
(The Yerushalmi does not directly address the topic of the Mishnah)
In one place they are blowing, and in another they are blessing (i.e. Musaf): There are those that teach that you should go to where they are blowing, and there are those that teach that you should go where they are blessing.
The one that says to go where they are blowing is where there is not enough time in the day to blow (because Shofar is d'Oraita, and the Blessings of Musaf are d'Rabbanan).
The one that says to go where they are blessing, is when there is enough time in the day for blowing (the shofar as well).
Let's learn from this which Rebbi Yaakov bar-Idi said in the name of Rebbi Yehoshua ben-Levi: In one place they are blowing (shofar) and in another they are blessing, go to the place where they are blowing and not to where they are blessing.
And another opinion is: on Rosh Hashanah that is on Shabbat, in one place they are blowing shofar and in another they are making the blessings of Musaf, go to the place where they are making the blessings. The reason is that everyone knows how to blow shofar, but not everyone knows how to make the blessings. Another reason, an individual can do the mitzvah of blowing shofar for him, but he can't for the blessings (because he needs an entire minyan).
Yom Tov of Rosh Hashanah that is on Shabbat, is it not like one that doesn't have enough time in the day to blow (because of the takanah of Rebbi Yochanan ben-Zakkai regarding shofar on Shabbat being in front of the Beit Din)? And you said they should go to where they make the blessings?!
That means that it is a disagreement. (The Gemara doesn't take sides in the disagreement)
Bavli (34b)
The reason (that he blows the shofar after the prayer) is that he didn't have a Shofar at the beginning. But if he does have a Shofar at the beginning, when should he heard the Shofar? Along with the blessings (of Musaf; Malchuyot, Zichronot, Shofarot).
Rav Pappa bar Shmuel got up to pray (Musaf of Rosh Hashanah). He said to his attendant: When I signal to you, blow (the shofar) for me.
Rava said to him: They didn't say that (that one should hear the Shofar during the prayer) except if one prays with the community.
There is also a baraita to this effect:
When he hears them (the blasts of the Shofar), he hears them in the right order and during the order of the blessings. To what is this referring? When one prays with the community. But if not with the community, one should hear them in the proper order, but not during the order of the blessings (i.e. not during Musaf). And an individual that has not blown the shofar, his friend can do it for him. But an individual that didn't make the blessings, his friend cannot make them for him. And it is a mitzvah to be among those that blow (the shofar) more than those that make the blessings. How? If there are 2 towns, 1 has those that will blow the Shofar, and the other that they will make the blessings (i.e. they don't know how to blow the Shofar), one should go to the place where they are blowing the Shofar and not the place where they make the blessings.
But that is obvious! This (Shofar) is d'Oraita, and this (the blessings) are d'Rabbanan!
No, it needs to be said, for this distinction is even if there is a doubt as to whether or not you can still get someone to blow shofar in the 1st town, and it is definite that you can get someone to make the blessings in the other town (in a minyan). Even so, one goes to the town where they will blow the Shofar.
