Hi folks!
This is a relatively minor request, but I'll throw it out here anyway.
Often my set lists that I send to the band look like this recent one:
You can see that the number of distinct songs is much fewer than the # of charts. That's because sometimes the lyrics are separate, or horn players need a different key, or bass players get a more complex chart that shows the bass line, etc.
But this makes it a lot harder to see how many songs we have lined up, to discuss adding / removing songs, etc.
So it would be a lot simpler if the setlist had a way of "grouping" "charts" into "songs". The setlist would just display the "songs". But when you scroll or share, you see all the included charts. And when I'm creating a new setlist in the first place from these charts in my collections, I would select a single "song" to add it to the setlist, and I would be assured that all the components (lyrics, transpositions, etc) would come along for the ride, instead of me having to select them individually by hand.
Does this make sense?
