For reference/discussion:

At 30, my standard song lineup (in a group) is:

Anthem/Chant of Battle (no enc/enc) - Singing/Percussion
Restoration - Singing/Stringed
Bellow/Chant DoT (personal whim of the day) - Singing/Percussion
Selos - Singing/Percussion
Psalm of Warmth/Vitality (more wizard mobs, warmth, more shaman/necro mobs, vitality) - Singing/Singing
Consonant Chain - Singing
Lucid Lullaby - Stringed but meh
Pixie Strike - Wind?

My twist during melee is 6/7/8/9 (1/2/3/4/5 are used by weapon slots/inventory slots for instrument swapping)
6: Anthem/Chant of Battle
7: Chain
8: Psalm
9: Restoration

Allows me to always start the twist off at the beginning because during downtime I'm singing Restoration. I lull a lot when pulling and try to pull with proximity aggro more than damage aggro so it can be peeled off easier. If I'm really familiar with spawns I may pixie strike pull a group so one is delayed 18s. Also since (barring an enc) 3/4 songs are singing only, there's little use in pulling out an instrument. When people are low or mana is scarce I am more apt to swap to a lute while waiting for pulls, but if I'm pulling I use either heal song/selos on myself for pulls.

Not sure what I'm going to do when mana song appears. I guess hymn of restoration goes away? Gotta have a ranged song to pull in certain circumstances so I can't get rid of bellow...

When I'm soloing, I swap out things that don't matter like anthem/chant and sometimes lull so I can have both bellow and chant dot up as well as aoe fear incase I want to fear/snare/dot/bellow/fear/snare/dot/bellow while auto attacking (allowing the bellow or dot to drop off to handle resists of snare/fear).
