Be able to create set lists and know how long the set will be
Could you add a duration (min and sec) field to each song and to the set list creator / editor so that when you build a set list, you can calculate just how long the set will be? Would also be nice to be able to add a factor for time between songs so that's added to the overall set list time. Would also want to add in breaks and a time for each. Would also be nice to enter when the time of day the set starts so you know exactly when you'll be taking a break(s).

I forgot to mention, this would be a very useable feature if it works. It would allow for set list planning right in this app, rather than using a spreadsheet, etc.

You could add a editable option for time between songs. Some bands are quick at 10 secs or so between, others might take 30, 45, 60 secs. That could be a configurable option in a set list that could be used in the calculation of the total duration of the set. It might really be cool to be able to add extra time after a given song to allow for instrument changes, etc.

Hmmm, not sure if either is a useful addition TBH. We all know how long our songs go for, and it is not rocket science to extrapolate that into the approx running time of a set. And further, I do not want further widgets taking up screen space, or requiring a touch to close.
Sorry, but I think there are better things to implement. If there was a 0 vote option that is what I would give this one.

If I implemented this, it would appear in the Settings->File window where all the file specific settings appear. Then the total duration would appear in the set list popup along with the number of songs. The duration would also be in the set list editor. I'm not too sure about the time of day or time factor between songs since that is so arbitrary.

I add my vote for the first suggestion here of a min/sec field, either to the top or bottom of page. I'm not a fan of the transmogrify button.
