I prefer the default behavior being a single click to add things. However, in order to support multiple selection, my plan is to have a toggle for insertion mode, where it enables multiple selection of entries, but left click no longer adds things. If you click on the left list, it will add all of the selected entries before the selected entry (or to the end if you click at the end). How does that sound? I think a click will be faster than drag & drop in many ways.
I will look into fixing the issue with the dark line on a dark background - that should be easy enough to adjust.

I appreciate the quick response, forgive me for not getting back to you as soon! I liked the double click to add, and have found the single click cumbersome and prone to accidentally adding things. To clarify my use case, I am not referring to selecting multiple songs from my global song list and dragging/adding them into my setlist, rather I want to have multiple selection inside my existing setlist, to say select songs 17, 18, 19, and 20 in the list, in order to drag and drop them to the front of the setlist. This saves time over dragging and dropping each individual song to it's new position.
The companion app is most helpful in uploading files into my library, but even more so to be able to view my existing setlists with 50-100 entries in large form(more entries and info on the screen) and experiment with the manual order based on song key, Capo position, etc. while having the ability to modify the order of multiple entries fast and easy.
The quickest way I have found to rather blindly and quickly move entries to a particular section of the setlist is when I'm in the app on my tablet I do the following:
1. For song #17 in the list I tap on it's list number(17)
2. I then quickly edit that number to 1 for example and hit enter
3. I rinse and repeat for entries 18, 19, 20
This is faster than dragging and dropping them whether using the tablet app or companion app, but since only so much is in view on the screen in the tablet app when doing this, I'm only roughly placing the entries earlier or later in the setlist, it creates more work. With this personal use case, I've always wanted the companion app to have the option to turn on setlist entry numbering and then have the able to click and edit them quickly in the same fashion as the tablet app. Honestly just to have the visual aid of the entry numbers in the companion app would be incredibly helpful, I'm always recounting down the list to place an entry at a specific number position.
We all have our preferences!
