Why do you want to highlight songs in a setlist? - a setlist is designed to be played in a certain order (unlike a collection which is typically sorted alphabetically).

Anyway, you can simply achieve what you want by creating a new setlist of the songs you are interested in as follows:

1. Long press the FIRST required song in the setlist (or collection) - this will be displayed with a check mark
   
2. Select the other songs you want in the desired play order
   
3. Press the 3 vertical dot (top right) on menu bar and "Create Setlist from Songs" - give the new set list an appropriate name so that you can locate it (and/or delete it when it is no longer required).

I really wanted the entire setlist visible, having highlighted a particular group of songs.  Depending on the audience I may or may not use the highlighted songs.  I accomplish this when I print out my song lists, highlighting the more popular songs, but I do that using a word processor.
