'Inspirational boost' from CAdv is my nominee for best 1st level spell
ever. ('Magic Missile' should win the lifetime achievement award)

swift, last as long as you need it, gives your lackeys (ahem... sorry,
frontline comrades) the edge; combined with the 5 rounds effect, what's
not to like?

when Owoddyn's (that's my bard) group aided the city folk to defend
against the onslaught of ogres, after he gave them a long inspiring
speech (I actually wrote one) and reminded them of their anthem (I
wrote them one based on another song), He told them to sing the anthem
while they fought to raise their spirits.

He used the ceremonial war drums to give them the beat, and added +2 to
about 50 people.

(so basically the DM let me get away with murder for investing a little
effort in my role playing)

So I started thinking, what about boosting the other buffing up
abilities?

<Actual Question>
a swift spell multiplying the HD, attack bonus and fortitude bonus
gained from 'inspire greatness' - bard 3?

a swift spell giving just +1 for each - bard 2? (cannot give +1/2
fortitude)
a standard action spell that allows affecting one more target- bard 4?

You could just take a feat that boosts every bardic music's use of numbers by 1.

The feat is Song of the Heart from Eberron Campaign setting.
