I am working to make a master entertainer/dancer/musician (I am currently 4.4.3.2 entertainer). I have noticed that the different flourishes last different lengths of time. I have also noticed that there are some flourishes that just seem to be a repeat of others. Then too, I can't seem to get the timing right for some of the flourishes. Either one flourish goes right into the next with no break or there is too long a break between them. This is extremely frustrating. If anyone knows which flourishes work and which don't and how long I should make my pauses for each flourish (taking into account the song/dance that it is to go with) I would appreciate it.
Eventually, I want to have a seperate routine to go with each song/dance I can do.
I'm not sure if I should post on the dancer and musician boards about this too, or if (since entertainer is the base for both those professions) I should just ask here.

I'm not sure how long dance flourishes last for, but all of the music ones last for 4 seconds. Music flourishes can be "stacked" i.e. if you do type
/flo 1; /flo 2
You will instantly spend the action to do the flourishes, once the current flourish or the current cycle of the base song is over flourish 1 would play, once that was finished flourish 2 would play, you can stack a maximum of 5 flourishes each 8 second tick (I am not sure how long the overall flourish que can grow to though). As a quick side note dancing does not work this way, you can interupt the base flourish at anytime to start a flourish, also the flourishes do not "stack" as described for music (I do not think you can interupt a dance flourish that has been started, although I could be wrong about that)
I think that there are some threads on the dancer forums that list timings for dance flourishes.
I hope this helps you.

Post on the dancers forum and look at their faq. Dance flourishes don't stack like music flourishes so it is all about timing. I've read that they range from 4 seconds to 12 seconds in length but I don't know if anyone has a list of all the timings.

Thanks. I will check the dancer forum.
As for music flourishes, I hadn't noticed that about stacking (probably because I hadn't tried it) and as you probably guessed, my main difficulty was with the dance flourishes being different lengths.
Question: Do all eight flourishes work with every song/instrument? I know that they don't all work with every dance.

There are 8 flourishes for every instrument in every song in Musician, however some of the instruments share flourishes (although the volume does vary)
Sltherhorn, Fanfar and Trazhave the same flos
Fizz, Fanfar, Chid Horn have the same flos
Bandfill and Ommni Box have the same flos
Mandoviol is unique
Nalargon is unique
All songs have different sounds.
