Compositions and Free action triggers

[shroudb]

we know that:

Quote:

Free actions start with this symbol: . Free actions follow

the same trigger rules as reactions, and like reactions, you
can use them on your turn or on another character’s turn.
Unlike with actions or reactions, you can use as many
free actions per round as you like, as long as their triggers
occur. However, a specific trigger can trigger only one of a
character’s free actions.

the issue is:

can you "lingering, harmonize, inspire heroics, inspire courage?" (as an over the top example)

Inspire courage is a "1 round composition cantrip"

lingering trigger is:

Quote:

Trigger You finish casting a cantrip composition with a duration of 1 round.

harmonize trigger is:

Quote:

Trigger You finish casting a composition.

inspire heroics trigger is:

Quote:

Trigger You finish casting inspire courage.

Now, I'm going to say, probably NO.

but truth is, all 3 triggers are different. And even if they trigger off the same ACTION that, RAW-wise, all three are different(again):

Quote:

specific trigger

that according to pure RAW, each can trigger a free action.

I think Harmonize isn't even necessary to pile on top of all others because you'll use it on your second Composition to harmonize with the first (as far as I understand), but I actually never gave much thought to this potential issue, because I was thinking you would make a choice of stronger Inspire Courage (Heroics) or longer duration (lingering composition). But given how it's written seems like you can actually use everything, because the trigger for each is different, although... Other rules only allow free action when you spend a action (action, free, action, free, action, free) or is the beginning of your round, if I'm not mistaken on that, of course.

I was using it like that as well, it's only today I noticed the weird wording.

(also, if you can harmonise a lingering you'll do that instead, so that both this and next round you can use a second composition at no further cost. If you did it the other way, as an example harmonised a dirge alongside a lingering courage, you would have to harmonise again the next round dirge as well)
