I don't do these things as nearly everything I have is a single page PDF.
However, from posts by other, I suggest you use cropping to remove the white space at the edge of pages. This will zoom the page to the displayable size of the page
Re jumping back, edit the song and go to the Files tab. Change the page order so there are multiple references to a page e.g for a 3 page document where you have to go back and repeat something on the second page. Initially, the page order is 1-3 so change it to 1-3,2,3 (song is then pages 1,2,3,2,3)
You can now crop out all the unwanted stuff on the the 2nd instance of page 2 (both white margins and unwanted text/music). This allows you to move forwards all the time.
You might want to also set the display mode for these songs to "Vertical Scrolling" (it doesn't then matter if some of the pages are very short)
Another option is to make use of "smart buttons"; you can then use a pedal action to jump to a start button e.g. to play a coda.
Apart from using general cropping of a page and occasional vertical scrolling, I haven't tried the above techniques but they should give you something to play with and, once you have sussed it out, will be much quicker than what you are currently doing.
