Wish Song Name Displayed on Color Screen when in Setlist/ Song Mode

I'm going to +1 this, too.

I started using setlists only in the last couple months starting on the FM9 and found this a bit of a challenge.

I ended up using my Axe Fx III and FC-12 for the gig and really appreciated seeing the info on the main FC display.
 
Í raised a query with Fractal as to whether they might be able to implement a concept of Screen Layouts ... similar to Footswitch Layouts (and indeed linked to Footswitch Layouts), the main screen content would change depending on what the footswitches were doing at the time.

For example, when on the Presets Layout, the screen shows a list of Presets - perhaps with varing levels of zoom? E.G. a small list, a big list, list shows bank size (and/or the bank before and after the current one). When on Scenes, it shows the Preset Name and the top, and a list of the Scenes (this screen already exists, albeit it would be good to link it to the Scenes Footswitch Layout and Views). When on the Songs/Setlist Layout, it shows the Set Name/Number across the top, and the list of songs below? When on Effects, it shows the Grid layout, again perhaps with varying levels of zoom? All these screens exist, however some need key presses to get to, whereas others (eg Scenes within a Preset) already work as per this concept.

They said it was a very cool idea, but not possible under the current architecture.

Then again - at one time it wasn't possible to get the latest reverbs from the Axe FX III into the FM3, and now it is :)
 
+1, and in addition if the songs are displayed on the big display, we should get more than 10 characters for the titles. Maybe let us put in the artist as well. Obviously the scribble strips for next/previous song will need to truncate the names, but maybe the main display could also show the full previous/next titles. In fact, having the song display as a whole separate page would be cool, and the knobs could be used to change setlist or scroll quickly through the songs.

It'd be great to have the current song name as a label option (for non song funtion switches) for the mini displays as well, so the song name could be on a tap tempo button or something like that. I don't need to see a flashing switch that says 'tap' for me to know it's a tap tempo. Lemme put the song name up there and I'm good.

This is the feature I miss the most in the FM9. The setlist/song layout is fantastic but not having the ability to display either one or the other in the in the large color screen, by the way very little exploited, is a big limitation for the user
