I acted on the idea of keeping gig notes in a text file as suggested by itsme above but modified the concept slightly.
I recently stumbled upon the notes feature that already exists in MS. These notes however are attached to specific songs even in the case of setlist notes.
So, I created a cho file I named Set Notes that I can reuse like a song in multiple setlists. This song file itself doesn't contain any meaningful information. It allows me however to attach setlist notes that are specific to each setlist without having to drill down into the song editor to edit set/gig information.
It would be nice if setlists could have their own setlist notes that didn't require attachment to a song, but this workaround is ok for now, albeit not as powerful as database fields that can be queried/filtered/reported as described in my suggestion above.
