I was reminded of this bit from DF11, p. 20.

"A bard can use only one Song at a time. He may stop playing and coast on the results he has achieved, but if he switches Songs, the effects of the previous one end instantly. To reflect this drawback, he pays full cost for his most expensive Song but merely 1/5 cost (rounded up) for each of the others. Should he later add or improve Songs, redo this calculation."

Which states that Bards cannot have more than one song active at a time. Does this apply to spells with the Song limitation as well? If so, then I suppose you can't play one song on the maracas and another with the voice.

(Bruno, I want you to know that I'm now imagining Ricky Ricardo doing some very strange Bardic things)
