That's my expectation too. In case people don't know, through all of
beta, right up to the last week of P4, there were only 20 bard songs in
the game. Then, just before they booted us all off to go final, most of
the current 20-50 songs went in (with huge gaps in the 40's).

Just how much testing and balancing do you think got done on them before
they got in (and no they weren't on the test server either)
