Default [DF] Stopping the music

The Bard Song modifier (-30%) (DF 1 Adventurers) states that the bard must sing or play a musical instrument; effects end immediately if he stops. It is simmilar of "Only by playing trumpet" in B110

I wonder if the following effects cause the music to stop or, at least, if they require an additional Musical Instrument/Sing roll to keep playing

- Dodge: Can you play the music while dodging without stopping for a second? Really? I have sung as non profesional in a stage and I know that singing while doing an stressfull and exhausting activity is quite difficult!

- Dodge and drop!

- Block or Parry.

- Being under pain shock

- All-out Attack (or simple attack, or move+attack)

- Running

- Knock down

- Pushed back

- Being under grapple

I have not beeing able to see any ruling in DF or Powers about how to manage the "Only while playing instrument". In Thamatology (p 204) says you can talk while playing but it requires an skill roll, however you can't if you are singing but there isn't any indication about attacking or defending.

Do you have you any house (or RAW) rule about bards and combat?
