    Its a great song yea, but its got a problem in a macro I made.
    For dungeon crawls I made a macro:
    /pause 1, /stopsong
    /cast 1
    /alt activate 231 (shauri's sonorous clouding)

    This casts my #1 song and then invises the group. Normally that song continues playing while invis (and does not break invis). But not aria. It plays once then stops. I checked and recast time is 0, so I dont see why it stops. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    /cast=1 time cast.
    /melody=repeat playing of bard songs.

    You can't be invisible and play a song.

    Incorrect. You can continuously play a single song while invis by casting that song before receiving an invisibility effect.

    The problem you're seeing is that all songs with a mana cost stop after being cast. Whether it was intended or not... /shrug.

    Someone did make a submission to the issue tracker regarding it:

    Got it. Of course I was thinking about melody. My bard is always singing and never invisible when it's casted by others.

    Personally i couldn't think of a single need for being invisible while having 1 song going.

    I use it while while waiting for the group to recover from deaths or while moving through a dungeon skipping mobs. Either for regen, or to have 1 song buff up immediately when/if we get agro. Its not a lot, but it is something.
