Improvements to existing features
- Playback now supports paging for large setlists, improving performance and reliability when loading setlists with many songs.

Playback 8.6.0 introduces a redesigned Demo Setlist experience. Users can now explore multiple demo setlists, redeem them with a code, and get a feel for the full MultiTracks ecosystem — Playback, ChartBuilder, RehearsalMix, and more — before committing to a subscription.

New Feature: Redesigned Demo Setlists
- All-new Demo Setlists experience — explore the full MultiTracks ecosystem (Playback, ChartBuilder, RehearsalMix, and more) with multiple demo setlists and easy code redemption.
