It's not currently possible, but one potential option when song versioning is available is you could set up a single song with multiple versions where each version uses different PDFs (depending on which files you need for that day).
Otherwise, this would require some significant changes to make songs effectively optional in a setlist. This would effect almost every feature related to setlists throughout the app, and require UI changes to the setlist editor to support that concept. So I'm not excited about making that kind of a change unless a lot of other users express their need for this.
I don't have insight into what your setlist looks like exactly, but I do think song versioning with my concept of "roles" or "instruments" would solve this. My idea is that, for a given song, you can have multiple versions and each version can be assigned to a specific role or instrument. If the user selects that role or instrument on the library screen, MobileSheets will always load the appropriate version of a song for that role or instrument. This means that every user can have a song in their library with the same name, but they would load a different version specific to their instrument depending on their role/instrument selection. I've been wanting to implement these changes for a long time, but haven't had time to work on it yet.
