I count one(hit song)...two...three...four(stop song), watch for gem to
fill, one(start next song). But essentially we're doing the same thing.
The only way I can get 3 songs to stack is if I time it exactly and have the
"Your song ends" come up before the songs effect message. :shrugs

Stopping the song before the effect was never too hard for me. Starting the
next too soon was a bigger problem. But I have found that juggling
instruments has helped prevent the "You haven't recovered yet" messages.
The time it takes to stop the song, reach over, click the mouse to switch
instruments, then bring my hand back to the numpad is just about the time it
takes for the gem to ungrey itself. Though if I get a faster PC I may have
switch my keyboard mapping around again.

I spent this weekend playing my Iksar shadow knight. [You have gotten
better at Lag Hunting (564)] Every time it'd spike I'd think "that's it,
I'm down". Never crashed. What's more, two times I came back to discover
I'd won the battle. ;^)
