I know this has been asked a zillion times before, but it's still not clear to me. (me stuppido :) )
And I go crazy reading a 1000 forum posts again to find my answers.
So I give it a try here.

I'm looking at SWS for live use with Reaper.
I now tried Cantabille, Forte and Intone, but due to bugs I need to find better solutions.
You can't afford crashes on stage !

Cantabile has very good low latency (Forte very high on my system) but has some snapshot and settings bug, Intone is ok, but crashes after half our of use every time (I rebuild my presets but the problem keeps coming)

Some questions with SWS and Live Configs
- Can I save a track/song/setlist?
- Can I rearange them before a concert
- Can I select a list by: program change and/or numeric pad for quick selection on stage (or maybe assign keys for next, previous).
- Is there a playlist screen you can follow live?
- Can it remember de location of the plugins on screen (and on/off state)
- Can I show just the vsts, the playlist and maybe a very small resized reaper
- How about starting up? Fast or slow? Switching between songs?
- Reliable?

Sorry for the many questions, I've been going through the docs but it's not sure to me, and I've tried to many option over and over now with the other software to find a reliable live host.

Is there any easy setting or info to find for all this?
Any experiences?
And if so would somebody be so kind to share the config file as starters?

I don't see any way to add keyboard split (zones) or velocity layers in Live configs?

Regarding key splits, maybe this plugin is useful

yes yes :) looks promissing :)
Pitty BloXpander doesn't cover my needs, I was very interested in it.
