It is possible to handle this currently, but it's a little tedious. This is going to be improved significantly once I add support for song versioning which is going to be a massive change that is planned around 2-3 major updates from now. In the meantime, you will need to do the following:
1) If sharing setlists, you need to select the setlist, tap Share->Export song list, and then send the .mss file to each member. If they import that .mss file, it will create the setlist using their own songs and files. So each member has to already have imported the PDFs they want to use with the setlist.
2) You either need to use the same titles for songs on each tablet (but with different PDFs), or you need to populate the Song ID field to ensure songs are matched up properly
3) You will not be able to utilize library backups or the sync library feature to synchronize devices. Each user will have to manage their own device and library to ensure they use the versions of the PDFs they want
Alternatively, you can have one master library that has every PDF with every version, but then each user has to assign the song IDs to the versions they want to use.
By contract, the song versioning will allow multiple versions of a song, and my plan is to add "roles" where a role could be an instrument or other designator, and if a user selects a "role", they will automatically load the correct version of a song for their role. Each song version will of course have a selector for the role assigned to that version. I know a lot of users are anxious for this feature, and it's one I very much want to add, but it's going to take months of development so I want to get a few other things completed first.
