Best thing you can do....target your tank and /mac kissassist. then /end. this will set up a basic INI file. Your next step is to use one of the ini files already made by someone from here http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php/29000-Compiled-INI-List. then its as simple as
MeleeTwistOn=1
MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 6 7 (or whatever songs you want.....1 2 3 4 etc.)

You hopefully have created an ini file for your bard...

May be easier to ask you to look here ... http://www.redguides.com/community/showthread.php/32537-My-105-Bard-ini

MeleeTwistOn=1
MeleeTwistWhat=1 2 3 4 6 7

Is the line in his .ini file where he set what form of songs he will twist. The numbers refer to an individual (spell/song) gem.

He helpfully included a list of songs that HE uses.

melee:
Gem1=Aria of Maetanrus Rk. II
Gem2=Arcane Melody Rk. II
Gem3=Doben's Spry Sonata Rk. III
Gem4=War March of Jocelyn Rk. II
Gem5=Slumber of Silisia Rk. II
Gem6=Fjilnauk's Spiteful Lyric Rk. II
Gem7=Pulse of Sionachie Rk. II
Gem8=Aria of Absolution
Gem9=Chorus of Sionachie Rk. II
Gem10=Dichotomic Psalm
Gem11=Aura of Maetanrus Rk. II
Gem12=Wave of Torpor Rk. II


caster:
[MySpells]
Gem1=Nilsara's Aria Rk. II
Gem2=Fjilnauk's Spiteful Lyric Rk. II
Gem3=Fatesong of Jocelyn Rk. II
Gem4=Arcane Melody Rk. II
Gem5=Slumber of Silisia Rk. II
Gem6=Aria of Maetanrus Rk. II
Gem7=Pulse of Sionachie Rk. II
Gem8=Aria of Absolution
Gem9=Chorus of Sionachie Rk. II
Gem10=Dichotomic Psalm
Gem11=Aura of Maetanrus Rk. II
Gem12=Wave of Torpor Rk. II

You set the songs you want to sing in the gems you want them in and then in the .ini choose the order of the twist.

Its all done in your .ini file and on your spell gems.

Totally plagiarised from Mcarpe and his ini post.

If I were you I would for now ignore his holys for another day.

Ok thank you very much

Ok I have got the twist spells to work i am just wondering when we use a customer file do i have to create a text file and name it or do i copy paste into my current Kissinf that i already have ?

Sorry if i am saying this wrong , i am trying to convert Bard 105 setting over to my Bard and use /mac kissini kissassist_someserver_somealtofyours.ini but i am not sure how this works if i dont not have a 105 bard alreadt , do i not put in server and just the Name of the Ini file i saved Bard 105 too ?

You just edit your own ini file which is typically servername_toonname_ini

Bards are awesome compared to most characters because you just continue replacing the spell gems with new songs, but the twist remains the same.

The only thing that changes calling out specifics spells/songs is the mez line. Even the slow stays the same since requiem of time just increases with AA's.

Ok so i don't copy anything over i just manually type it in ?

You create your own ini as mentioned above via /mac kissassist

I'd then look at the sticky here with bard ini files as close to your level as possible. Copy and paste that into your own ini file and save it.

You will then likely find yourself editing your ini file as you level and fine-tune it based on your own preferences.

IE: change DPS to include certain AA lines that maybe you would normally save for the burn section (named mob), change the amount of mobs you AOE mez. etc.

KA is very very tunable, and once you see it running a while live you will get the hang of it and start making changes based on where you are/what you are hunting etc.

The community here is great so keep asking questions. The veterans that know 100x more than me will continue to chime in.

Tiny tip, the Twist will not start in Kissassist (at least in 8.5.5) if your Bard is sitting.
