Simply don't load all at the beginning?

You can still open a song from the album and browse normally to the next one from the viewing window. And if you choose the setlist button only the current open one is suggested to add to the setlists.

P.S. I assume you have created individual songs for the album from your multi-page pdf.

If you have only one pdf with several songs without individual database entries for the album then you first have to create a song/database entry which is quite simple with the snippet function (and you can assign a setlist and other metadata too for the creation IIRC).

Got it!  I didn't have the "load next song" setting in Library settings turned on. Couldn't understand what you meant by "browse normally".  With the setting turned on it does what you described. Thanks for being patient with me.  This software just works!

I have 19 "fake" books loaded.  Everything from blues to standards to Christmas and Broadway.  I can now create setlists for various gigs - sometimes I just page through a book a a gig - since I play solo.
