What about simply "playing" ??

"There´┐¢I was in lower guk.... playing Chant and Chords when the <insert big
monster name here> spawns so I target him and hit attack!´┐¢ Sylly punches <a
big monster> for 1 point of damage!´┐¢ Oh no I have forgotten to equip a wep
yet again!!!"´┐¢

For some reason, we think we need a special term that connotes using 2 or
more songs at the same time -- yet the connotaion´┐¢would be redundant since
we always say which ones we are combining.´┐¢ So "playing" followed by which
ones they are are says it all.´┐¢ For variety, any of the other words are nice
synonyms.´┐¢ But none of them add any more meaning that simply "playing."

´┐¢´┐¢´┐¢ Come on people - we should be more creative that just coming up with two
ideas!
´┐¢
´┐¢´┐¢´┐¢ My apologies if anyone takes this personally, but, I think "Juggling"
and "Weaving" are just as bad (well maybe slightly less so) than
"Twisting".´┐¢ I'm not a clown; I'm not a textile worker as well as not being
a gymnast.´┐¢ I'm a musician.
´┐¢
´┐¢´┐¢´┐¢ The term I like: "Riffing"...´┐¢ It seems to me - that we are playing five
or six seconds of a song - so it would basically just be a riff...´┐¢
Musically speaking, of course, "riffs" are associated more with instrumental
music than vocal music - but I think it fits a hell of a lot better than
twisting, juggling, weaving, or heaven-forbid "medlying"
