Thank you RylaBee; ok, I understand about the 3 songs and keeping them all current.
What is clipping in this instance though? Do you mean before one dmg effect stops another starts and it clips off the previous skill? Thereby shortening the damage number?

So far I've pieced together to begin with.

the Wander's Minuet > Raging Strikes > Battle Voice > Iron Jaws, then;
Venomous Bite > Wind Bite > Mage's Ballad > Rain of Death (which will either be reset instantly because of Rain of Death, 'or' have to hit Venomous Bite and Wind Bite in that order to reset timer on RoD).

> Barrage > Empyreal Arrow > I 'don't do 'bloodletter' because it steals/shares the timer with Rain of Death and I'd rather use Rain of Death (?)
(depending on if it's a single target or I have brought in 2 or more targets into a group).

Then reset song timers about now and usually Pitch Perfect and Straight Shot are blinkng their outline dots and ready to go, so I shoot them off.
usually the mob/s are dead by now, but if I have to continue,

Set off Quick Nock > Barrage > Empyreal Arrow > Venomous Bite > Wind Bite > Sidewinder > Heavy Shot

Sound about right?
