Sets in set lists

When I am playing in a ceilidh band we will usually play tunes in sets i.e. jigs A+B+C or X+Y+Z. Obviously I need these tunes to be adjacent in the set list so when I do a page turn the next jig comes up. 

I'm aware I could scan the tunes into a single PDF but the trouble is the tunes don't always go in the same set so sometimes it's A+B+C but another time it could be A+B+D and as there's no joining facility I would have to rescan from paper every time the combination changes. The other problem is that as single tunes I can't sort a big set list alphabetically as it changes the order of adjacent tunes.
Hey ianmcairns,  this has been my work around for set breaks - maybe it will help you.  I scanned in a blank page that has one large word on it "BREAK".  After about 15 songs in a set, I place that page break sheet next in the song list, then follow it with the next group of songs for the next set and so on.
Another trick is naming the set list sequentially so at the end of a set list the next one in the set window can be picked and so on.

e.g.
Band-Venue-YYYY-Month-Day-set-1
Band-Venue-YYYY-Month-Day-set-2
Band-Venue-YYYY-Month-Day-set-3

hope this helps.
