Judging from Mike's reply, any changes made along these lines are either nearly impossible or would require an inordinate amount of work on his part to implement.

I rather suspect that some users are losing sight of what a 'setlist' is.  To most musicians, a setlist is a series of charts to be played in a particular order - the 'set'. I accept that there are a few people who will use this function in a slightly different way but, in the interests of simplicity, surely it is better to keep it the way it is and for those users to implement their own workarounds for a particular situation?  

I honestly believe that it is possible to accomodate almost any situation within the confines of MSP as it currently stands.  As mentioned above, I use placeholders all the time as prompts.  I attach a typical setlist showing these. The placeholders themselves have additional notes, where required.  For instance, the INTRODUCE NICOLE page has a note telling the guitarist to play the intro chord progression under the spoken introduction of the vocalist, the INTRODUCE THE BAND page lists the names and instrment of the players, etc., etc.
