What's wrong with creating snippets (or copy a song and change the page order, which is technically the same)?
You should be aware what happens:
- a snippet does NOT copy the file, just the song entry in the database, so it needs almost no disk space ( except a few bytes for another database entry), the copied song uses the same file which remains unchanged
- MobileSheets works with the SONGs, so setlist or group references can point independently to each copied song, annotations are stored per song in the database (so each copy can have its own setlist entries, annotations and so on)

He wants annotations made in the snippet to show up in the song "snipped" from and vice versa (after the creation).

Wouldn't it work if you "recombine" the song snippets for rehearsing in a setlist or a collection?
Using "Load all" of such a setlist might help.

How about; make copy of full song [for rehearsing + annotations]> reorder/crop for your part after rehearsing. Then if you annotate your part you can 'reassemble' back to the original copy and the reassembled copy should now have all of the annotations.
Making a copy is insurance.

This works if you only need parts from the file on one place in the setlist. I have concerts where I need different parts from the whole file in different places. Sorry, it's very specific but I think if it's technically possible the finest solution for such a problem (not only for me) would be a possibility to choose specific pages while adding a file to the setlist. I really thought much about it and that's why I made a feature request.

I think the issue will either be solved with song versioning (where you can have multiple versions of a song and choose what version to add to a setlist, and each version can use different pages from a file or a different file entirely) or I'd have to add support for bookmarks supporting a range of pages and acting like a psuedo song (this requires some pretty big architectural changes though). I know a lot of people are still waiting for the song versioning features and it's going to solve a lot of problems. I'm just getting bogged down with all of the different things I'm juggling so I'm behind schedule on where I'd like to be.

Both changes you mentioned sound like a possible solution. It's great to know you have this in your mind and there will be a new possibility in the future, thanks :-)
