Feature Request: Pin Currently Selected Song to Top of Song List

[Insider0203]

For my band, we all use a Split View layout with the song list on the left and document viewer on the right. For the vast of majority of songs, most of us don't ever need lyrics or documents so the document viewer just displays the title of the song placeholder. Most of us have gotten used to always seeing the title of the current song in this spot.

On a recent gig, one of the band members forgot his iPad and I suggested he just use his phone. This worked out great but one thing he noted that since his phone layout was just using the song list view, if he scrolled the song list, he wouldn't be able to see the current song title unless he scrolled back.

This was mostly a non issue and just took some getting used to but it got me thinking of a new feature:

Pin the current song to the top of the song list. It would behave much like how the Set list names are pinned to the top.

This also might be useful for another one of my requests: a live song queue. When a user wants to load another song to be the next song, it gets pinned to the top below the current song. They keep queuing songs and pinning them to the top, basically making a new playlist. If it gets too long, there probably should be a way to expand and collapse the top pinned queue list.

You can edit your layout and add the Title field above the song list, or below the song list, or in the bottom toolbar.

Yeah, I'm aware of those, but those options have quirks and tradeoffs.

For example: for the user just viewing a song list only layout on their phone, I made a layout where I resized the song list to leave a little space at the top of the "title" field. That's fine but it basically shows the title twice, once in the field and again in the song list, unless you scroll down in the song list.

Again, this was a small issue and isn't high on my wishlist but I think it would be an elegant solution that would help clean up lay outs.

I think it's better to show the title in a separate field than to alter the position of the current song within the song list, because that could add confusion about the order of the songs. For example, you might forget that you have scrolled the song list down and think that the song in the second visible position (just under the pinned song in the first position) is the next song on the set list. That would be bad if the band starts the next song and you start playing a different song.
