if you get the feat lingering song , the song effect last 1 min after you stop singing. what happen if you start like inspire greatness before the minute end?? those inspire greatness overlaps your inspire courage or both work ???

My own Bard used to have: Inspire Courage +12, Dragonfire Inspiration +12d6 and Inspire Greatness all going at once, and still be able to add one more song for other effects.

In 3.0 it was specified that you could have a separate effect going with song and another with instrument (and third by dancing, for an example), but RAW, only spell-casting and triggering items requiring verbal components is prohibited.

Keep in mind, Bard Song is something of a misnomer, as it could be beating drums, reciting poems or even dance - in which case, lack of sound wouldn't block it, but lack of line of sight would.
