I always likened barding to playing the piano IRL. A two-handed non-stop effort that can leave you crippled if you don't do the right warm-up exercises.

I like double-tapping. I find it gives the class 'tempo'. It keeps you alert and concentrated when you have to have different reactions to missed notes/stuns than your "normal" twist (not sure i'm explaining this right).

This is exactly how I played on Live. Not sure why I never used /stopsong. Not sure i even knew about it. I like how you likened it playing the piano. I never would have made that association.

I did start up a little bard on green, first one since Live. And it was like riding a bike, the double tapping came right back, the notes and timings still in my head. I could double tap with my eyes closed.. I know exactly when the songs end on the dot intuitively.

The biggest thing I remember on live is people would always be mad at me because I could not chat with them.. My reply was always "twisting!"

I wonder, is it so much of a loss if you do not use /stopsong?

I will have to experiment, but double tapping is just so automatic for me, so natural.
