Please add a way to preview a song inside the setlist editor (by long-pressing it in the 'songs in setlist' and also in the 'Search All Songs' lists. I download songs to my Android from a shared folder, and I don't fully control the filenaming, so there are often some questions whether the file I am abouut to add to the setlist is the correct one (voice, version, local edit etc).
It is painful to have to leave the setlist editor to preview the PDF.

If you long press a title, you will open a menu. Select 'Edit Song' from that menu and you will see a review of the first page of that chart. As far as I know, this works with titles anywhere - setlist, collection, etc.
Take care in the setlist editor and ensure you long press in the middle of the title bar as the red cross will delete it from the list and the left hand side (which is for re-ordering) will not ope the next menu.

I think this recently came up again in a separate forum thread. I so want to add a way to pop up a quick preview of a song with the ability to turn through the pages. I don't know that a floating window is necessary, as I think you would need to close the preview before continuing to edit the setlist. I'm certainly open to suggestions though if users believe there is a need to have a preview open while actively editing the setlist.

I know it has been some time but perhaps something has developed I am not aware of. Is this preview still slated to be implemented? Just yesterday I dearly wished I could have previewed songs before again setting up a large setlist for our next service...

I have not had a chance to work on this yet. I've been focused on version 3.9.0 and the redesign of the companion app (to support Linux and MacOS and update the UI).
