Can auto-advance be configured to auto-advance through pauses?

I recently configured BandHelper on my iPad to auto-advance from song to song and automatically play the recording attached to each song, so that I can practice playing along to an entire setlist without stopping. However, when it encounters a pause in the setlist (for example, to say hello to the audience, or introduce the band, or for the other guitarist to switch from his acoustic to his electric guitar), the auto-advance stops, and I need to manually select the first song after the pause and manually start playing the recording. Is there a way to tell BandHelper that when auto-advancing, I want it to auto-advance through the pauses as well? (The pauses have times associated with them; it would be nice to have the option to adhere to the time when auto-advancing, or to skip over the pause completely, similar to the option to ignore the defined time between songs. I just want to practice all of the songs in the set without stopping.) (Also, BandHelper stops auto-advancing when it encounters the end of the set; it would be nice to have an option to continue to the next set automatically -- without waiting for the "time between sets" to elapse.)

No, but I'll add to my wish list to extend the Ignore Time Between Songs option to also ignore breaks and pauses.
