Thnks guys, bunch of helpful posts, but one thing i'm not really sure...
So all this "Set List/Sheet Maker" programs are primary for sorting a songs sheets/chords/words and they have a secundary function for MIDI support over which you can connect Nord and manage Nord programs over iOS/Android device? ☺
Do this programs have a possibility of changing sheets and Nords program simultaneously?
So, you pick a song sheet and automatically get a program change on Nord...
Set List Maker allows you to set up databases for various projects, each with its own repository of songs (which can be copied back and forth).
From these databases, you build set lists, which you can reorder and add to on the fly.
Each song can have scanned sheets or lyrics or chords attached, which will be displayed when in set list view. You can also add playback audio/original song demos, visual (flashing) or audio metronome, and MIDI commands, including patch changes (I believe this is an in-app purchase these days). You can build your own layout for set list view, with buttons for playback or MIDI messages, etc. Patches can also be changed on song change.
You can also hook up a Bluetooth pedal to move forward/back through the set list.
Note that the Android app is not up to the level of the iOS app in terms of features. He's working on it, but development is iOS-first.

Hi, i have designed an advanced MIDI router "Sipario" (www.lab4music.it), that i have presented to Musikmesse 2015. I use it to play the midi channels of my NS2. So i can switch from one sound to another just touching the display or by pressing the pedal. There are differents possibilities... check it out!
I save all my patches according to song title. Patch changes for my upper keyboard (Nord Wave) are sent via MIDI on load by the External section.
I always enable 'Pending Load' and 'ABC' sorting.
This gives me the greatest flexibility in a live situation. I can usually find an opportunity to dial in the next song while playing or between songs.
For segues I generally dial the first song and activate it, then dial in the next song, but leave it pending until it's needed.
I am ready to play any song before our guitarist is

Nord Stage 2 HA76, Nord Wave, CME UF60, Studiologic VMK 161 Plus Organ, Roland Juno G, Yamaha P200, Yamaha TG77, Roland U-220, Kawai K3M, Roland Juno 60, Fender Rhodes Stage 73
Thnks to everybody, you gave me a lot of ideas how to be more effective in live gig.
And one thing for sure, although I'm now android/windows user, soon I'll be complete iUser ... Just because with iPad/Mac you get much more hardware/software support for anything that musician ever need.
