ive been master a while and this is what i have gathered through experience.
A. How to buff, this will explain how to recieve a buff as well
1. Start playing any instrument on any song, it doesnt matter
2. Make sure the person you want to buff is listening, with /listen
3. While targeting them type "/setperform"
a. If you are using the Nalargon or Omnibox, which must be targeted then you need to type there name after wards Ie."/setperform Joe"
4. Do flourishes for a while (more below)
5. Have them stop listen for it to take effect, There is no notice that it is done nor do they see any effect of it till they stop listening, with /stoplisten.
6. IF you did it correct then it will appear in the buff display window with a time of 2 hours
B. How much will it buff me?
1. This is dependent on their "Musical Mind enchancement" stat. (Dancer Mind Enchancment for dancers)
2. For each "point" they have in this skill mod they will increase your stat by one percent (Mind for dancers. Will/Focus for musicians)
3. These mods are found in the "tech" skill tree, It goes as follows
Novice Music/Dance..................10% increase
Music/Dance Tech I..................20%
Music/Dance Tech II.................30%
Music/Dance Tech III................50%
Music/Dance Tech IV.................75%
Master Music/Dance..................100%
For instance if a guy with 600 focus and 450 willpower gets buffed by a Tech III musician then his new stats will be 900 focus and 675 willpower.
4. There are skill tapes that increase these so if your a entertainer look out for them
C. How long do i have to listen?
1. This is dependent on the number of flourishes the entertainer does, all the listener needs to do is sit back and enjoy
2. At a rate of around 2 flourishes every 10 secs it takes 8-10 minutes
*Note: No one has let me test for the exact flourishes to time length but this is accurate enough
3. Also if, by any means, you can have enough action to do constant flourishes you will be able to buff in around 2-3 minutes. This will buff full and also last 2 hours which is apparently the max time length. *Note: This is harder for dancers to do but still applies
C. Group Buffs *Note: this was changed in publish six so im still playing around with it
1. When your in a group, anyone who listens to you thats in your group will be buffed auto-matically.
2. This takes longer (Will try to test and get back to you on this)
So that about wraps it up for buffing and being buffed. If you have any questions just post em here or whatever ill try my best to get back to you. Hope this has been usefull to you.

What DroppingEnglish said. FWIW, there's also a FAQ on the buff in this forum.
One thing, DroppingEnglish: I ran my FAQ by the devs, and theytold me to indicatethat choice of song and instrument does matter in some circumstances. I often find that it doesn't matter, but I can't say categorically that it doesn't. I usually play a fairly "advanced" song on a fairly "advanced" instrument.
