I posted this request under Tips & Tricks and Guidelines and it seems that it's not something currently supported, so I shall re-post here.

I would like to be able to create a single "setlist" which has multiple "sets". These would be  independently numbered.

Many gigs consist of songs in multiple sets, with one or more intervals. For instance, I have a gig coming up with two sets of 16 songs and an interval. I would like to have a setlist with Set 1/Songs 1-16, and Set 2/Songs 1-16.


The best workaround I've found is to have a setlist with a placeholder called "interval". However these are just numbered 1-33 and "Set 2, Song 1" would be a much more useful identifier than "Song 18" . 

I've considered two setlists, but that's clunky, and makes it tricky to make changes.

As of now, the only plans related to this is the eventual addition of a new tab that will manage groups of setlists (so you can place multiple setlists under one parent, and load all at once if desired), and support for separators in a setlist. I'm not sure whether either of those will get you exactly what you are looking for.

I have a (somewhat) similar experience on a smaller scale. I had this idea I could break a complicated score into the individual tempo parts, and reunite them within a setlist, and then the software could scroll at different tempos in different parts of the score. This works fine, but then, like the author mentions above, I can't nest this setlist as a single entity within a different setlist. Instead, I must put each individual section of the subdivided score into the setlist. Not the end of the world, but the nesting of setlists within a setlist might be an idea worth exploring.

You might already be doing this so apologies if so.

Put all your separated songs into it's own setlist
Choose a common set of characters at the start of each song name (so that they are obviously a block of songs)

When needing to create a new setlist which includes them:-

1. Enter all other songs, if any, before the required posistion.
   
2. Exit the setlist editor.
   
3. Long Press this special song list until it has a check mark
   
4. ... (three dots, top right);  Select "add songs to a setlist"  (add to the one you were creating)
   
5. Re-edit the setlist;  all the songs will be co-located at the bottom (with the same leading prefix to show they are to be treated as a block).
   
6. Add any other songs.
   

Not brilliant but workable.
Could be tricky if you want to shuffle "blocks of songs" around the combined setlist.

Your method works pretty good. Less tedious than the way I was doing it. Thanks.

Glad you found it helped
