Hello again,

It'd be cool to be able to have dividers on a setlist.

For example:

--COCKTAILS
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
--DINNER SET
Song 1
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
--AFTER PARTY SET
Song 1
Song 2

(where the hyphened texts are the "dividers")

Thanks!

You can already do this using the "Add Placeholder" option:
While creating/editing a set list, just press the 3 dot menu item, and select Add Placeholder.

The only possible downside I've seen is that this creates a PDF.  I've sometimes used this to put content specific to a gig/set in the setlist.

"Add Placeholder" does NOT create a PDF. It only creates an entry in the database without a file, just like pressing "+" in the song editor and chosing "blank pages". Nevertheless such a blank page can be filled with some content using the annotation editor and can be exported as a PDF.

I prepared files "Set 1" ... "Set xx" that I use as separators. They are imported into the database with song titles like "--- Set xx ---" to separate them visually when the setlist is displayed and sorts them to the top within the # section of the songs tab.  I added these separator songs to an extra collection called "Separators" to simplify filtering.
In the beginning these files were PDFs, later I switched to use ChordPro. ChordPro files have the advantage that I can edit them on the fly in MobileSheets.

I shall explore this further as that is how I expected the feature to work, however I remember being both surprised and disappointed by finding PDFs, which I did NOT create by exporting them.  I will admit however, that it was some time ago, and being an old fart my memory may be deceiving me and perhaps it was only database entries I found.  I will definitely be checking this.

This is a cool workaround, thanks! I think I'll do the same for now. But it's still be cool if they could add that feature, rather than doing a workaround.

Thanks again!

Adding dividers is certainly on my list of things to do this year. I'm just not sure on the exact timeline for it.
