They fixed songs but only with savage and trial encounters in mind. In dungeons for example, you're out of combat between pulls, which means you can't do anything and you're doomed to the same constraints than when songs would only be used on a target, because you have to use the song before everything dies.

The problem however is that if you use songs out of combat you'd generate repertoire and gauge, which is good for dungeons, but extra bad for trials/savage because people could just precharge their soul gauge to full before every pull (by going through a 90s song cycle...). Solution would be to grant full Soul Gauge and full Coda at the start.
