Ok, I was grouped with another bard last night in Mistmoore
and got to test this. Mind you I had "other bard spam" turned
off so I'm mostly basing this on the icons that showed up on
my screen (it was a spur of the moment testing, not planned).

Other bard was playing Hymn. Someone yells train. I start
Invis. All of us flicker out of view well before the train
arrives. I tell him to turn off his song NOW. Unfortunately
by the time I finished typing that and he turned his song off,
the train has passed and gone to the zone. We sit tight,
invisible, hoping they didn't see us. The train runs back
down and makes a beeline for the bard playing Hymn. (We
barely get out, he dies.) There is some debate as to whether
the train actually saw him playing Hymn, or if invis dropped
on him due to PL.

I'd died earlier (stupid gargoyle got a double hit for max
damage on me just as I was about to hit the zone) and needed
to loot my corpse. A lot of people are parked outside in LFay
so I asked the same bard to play invisibility to let me check
inside for a train. I zone in, no train. I begin to loot,
grab my mino horn, equip it, and play invis. Other bard zones
in, starts up invis himself. People bring a minor train to
the zone. I finish looting and watch. Target a mob and start
/conning it over and over.

Mind you, this is me and the other bard both playing invis at
the same time. *Every* time the song graphics were present
(glowing ball), the mob /conned "ready to attack." The moment
the song animation ended, the mob /conned "indifferent." I
hit the /con button over and over for 2 or 3 pulses and it
switched between "indifferent" and "ready to attack"
completely in synch with whether or not the song graphics were
present.
