Green: beginner bard, very novice question

[Videri]

So you start a song, let it hit, stop it by pressing any song button, then start another one, right?

If you watch your buff bar, you'll still have Chant of Battle for a while after you stop singing it. Once you get multiple songs that create buffs, you can practice maintaining 2, 3, or even 4.

Okay that makes sense. I think I was getting confused bc I was trying to track what was going on through combat chat. So, for a DoT I'll just see when it hits initially and not when it does damage every tick? Thank you, that's really simple and not getting it was driving me crazy.
