One option would be to have an icon displayed at the right of every setlist that, when tapped, loads the entire setlist. Then there would be no need for a separate setting and users could still have access to both modes of operating without having to toggle anything like performance mode. Would that work for your needs?

Hi Mike,
Sorry for the very belated reply. I didn't notice your response come in. I thought I'd look into this again, because it's still an issue for me and so I saw your response for the first time just now.
I wasn't able to figure out how to put an "icon" at the right of every setlist, but I don't think that would be too convenient to do for the 150+ setlists in our current repertoire and with how often we make a new sets. Remember, I play in a contradance band so our sets contain only 1, 2 or 3 songs max, with each song (tune) generally having only four lines of treble clef (like a fake book), so two tunes can easily fit on one page. If a set has three tunes, I only have to tap the tablet once to scroll and see the entire third tune. 

I understand avoiding adding a new setting, if at all possible, so here's a suggestion. 

There are two existing options that are SO CLOSE to what contradance players need, but they're not quite there.  
The first one is the "Always Load Whole Setlist" which could get triggered when tapping on a set, not just a song. The whole setlist would be loaded and the first song would be displayed.
The other one is the "Skip Viewing Groups with One Song" option. If an integer could be added to that option so that 2-, 3- or x-song groups could also be immediately loaded instead of viewing the group, that would work perfectly! I would just set the number to 3 and that would cover all my sets. (of course the option would have to be renamed to something like "Skip Viewing Groups with X Songs or Fewer").

Thanks for your consideration, Mike!
