Hello, is there a way to select more songs in a setlist and move them all together? Thank you.

It depends where you want to move them. You can go to the setlists tab, tap the setlist to view the songs, long press a song, select each song you want to move, tap the three dots at the top right and tap "Add to Setlist" to add them to an existing setlist. Then you'd have to remove those songs from the current setlist. At some point I'd like to revise the batch edit dialog to allow some way to edit only some of the values for all songs at once (so you could remove them all from one setlist, and add a new setlist without affecting any other setlists they are part of), but this is not easy from a UI perspective.

I meant jsut move up/down inside the same setlist.

Sort manual > edit > drag up/down icon > save.

My question is different: I want to select 10 songs inside a setlist that counts 200 titles, and move that block of 10 songs all together in another position inside the setlist, for example from positions 23-33 to position 144-154. Is it possible? 

I hope my question is now clear. Thank you.

That is not currently possible, as you can neither drag and drop a group of selected entries at once nor move them as a group. It will be tedious, but it will probably be best to tap the number next to each entry and enter the position you want to move the entry to. Perhaps in the future I can add an option to move multiple songs at once to a new position.

Thanks for considering this option, it'll make much faster arrange long playlists. Thank you Mike!

Not available yet? For long setlists like some of mine (200+ entries) this is really needed. Thank you.

Due to the way things are implemented in the main tablet app, it's not going to be easy to try to introduce a concept of selecting an entire group of songs to move at once. This will be more doable in the companion app (the rework is going to be added very soon). With that, you can shift-click or ctrl-click to select multiple, then right-click to add them all. I'll have to see if it's possible to drag & drop multiple at once easily with the Avalonia framework. With the tablet app, I'd have to do something like have a "batch move" option that, once activated, puts checkboxes next to the songs in the right list, then you tap each entry you want to move, then you tap on the left list where you want those inserted. What are your thoughts on that? That would be easier for me to implement in a way that won't break things or require massive design changes.

Your solutions, both for Windows/Companion and the tablet/Android app, are great! In any case, it will help a lot to move many songs inside a long setlist. It'll be a huge help and time saver! Thank you!

Perhaps it's me, but why would anybody have a setlist of 200 songs?  That sounds more like a collection to me.

That's not important. The "group moving" is very much appreciated even in a 50 songs setlist.

I also consider 200 songs setlists as an extremely exotic user case and you're probably right that that's more likely a collection. But I agree that being able to move (also cut and paste) groups and/or multiple selected items in a setlist would be really a benefit and added convenience for arranging setlists for a gig.
