In playlists, all songs have a number on the left side.
If would be very convenient if we could edit that number.
Let's say if want to move a song in the middle of a playlist to the top, I could just change that number (type "1" to place it at the top of the list for example).
I don't how difficult it would be to implement this (adding an input box next to each song), but that would make it much easier to edit a set list within a playlist.
I have a set list of about 50 songss. Quite often the list is rearranged so I need to move a song from the bottom of the list to somewhere near the top quickly. At the moment this takes several moves because it's not possible to move the song above the on screen display. So it would be useful if this restriction can be overcome
Right, I've submitted this issue a while ago, but nothing has been done so far to make it easier (and faster) to move songs from the bottom of a playlist to the top. I have playlists of over 100 songs, so you can imagine the task to move songs around!
In the early versions of iRealPro, we used to enter a row number when moving songs. That was much faster to move songs in playlist.
A suggestion for the developers: when selecting a song title then dragging it around to change its position, as soon as we drag it to the limit of the screen, it should automatically ask which row number we'd like to move the song.
I have this issue alsoQuote:

Well, I can't do that unfortunately.
The songs in my playlist are set in specific keys. I can't just create new playlist. That would reset all the keys to original keys.
Really ?Quote:

The original and the one in the new key differentiated by a number after the song.

I wish that would be that easy on Android. Unfortunately, it's not.
I only have one column, and I can only see the songs in the opened playlist, not the other playlists or even the library, which is real trouble to move songs around.

Can you reset your list to be in alphabetical order? That may be your only alternative and just on the fly go to the songs . I had to do this yesterday because I didn't have time to make a new set list. It takes a few seconds more between songs. Seconds can be any eternity on stage .Quote:

In some situations, I even have to skip the intro because not enough time to scroll down the list ! Also, when I have the songs in order on a playlist, I don't need to ask every time "what's the next song" unless I write the song list in order on a separate piece of paper like in the old days. But might as well have everything set up right in iRealPro. That shouldn't be too hard for the developers to fix.
