I've run in to a scenario that I could brute force but I'm wondering if there is a way to do it in in MSP.
Background: I normally keep the Repeat Mode function ON as I play in a swing band that has coda jumps back to the first page. Going from the last page back to the first and then the first back to the last makes things nice when playing.
Problem: for a specific set list, the director wants to play three different songs with no break between. There really isn't time to get out of the song and then select the next in the set list. An additional complication is the pages I need to play are parts of larger PDF files. I can use Create Snippet to isolate just the pages I need, but I don't see a way to combine them into a single logical "song".
Question: any suggestions on how to solve this problem, besides isolating the specific PDF pages and using something like PDF Merge to combine them in to a separate PDF file.
One way I see would be to tie settings like Repeat Mode to a set list. That way I wouldn't have to remember to switch the setting back and forth between gigs. Another way would be to have something like Create Snippet but it would allow me to select song + pages for the logical database entry.
Any suggestions using something that MSP currently supports?
