How many songs can a bard twist maximum?

[Drosis]

What is the maximum number of songs a bard can twist? 4 or 5? I spoke to some high level bards and they said 4 but I think on the P99 wiki it says 5. Any clarification?

Just did 5 on my 18 bard.

Which songs?

I know on live you could keep 3 beneficial/detrimental songs up reliably and 4 beneficial/detrimental songs up with only 1 falling off every now and then for a split second.

Here it seems to be 4 beneficial pretty reliably(have not tried 5 beneficial because I did not want to limit my utility), have also been able to keep 5 detrimental up with only 1 falling off every now and then for a split second (snare, 3 dots, and a mez).

qft, 4 Reliably, 5 if you're stretching it and manage durations well.

For beneficial songs, this is your answer.

For offensive songs (Selo's Snare), they last a little longer, so 5 is doable reliably, but since you're probably soloing it's also higher risk.

And they were all up at the same time, consistently? I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. I know that if you time it well enough though you can functionally twist 5 songs because Hymn only takes effect every server tick (so it would drop briefly but you'd recast it before the next tick). Does that sound right? Or are you just really fast with your fingers?
