While you’re waiting for an answer, start by typing “keyboard split” in the search field, and you may find an answer straight away.
Variations are the approach we used for this kind of thing - it’s more flexible.
You should not try to impose the MainStage approach to Gig Performer, the latter has a completely different design paradigm/philosophy.
Are you using local rackspaces for anything?
This is completely documented in the user manual
Specifically on this page,
I understand how to split the keyboard in rackspace, but the way it is shown in the post using routine settings from rackspace to global rackspace is not clear to me.
I don’t have time to wait to loading between the songs. 
When you are following a setlist then there is no loading time.
I had the same issue.
I think I don’t use predictive loading because of the waiting times when to move from a song 10 songs further in the set list. Maybe the song selector of Dave Boulden would have prevented this issue, but I created this solution before.
Note however, that for my solution patch persist does NOT work.
What does work:
- Loading the entire gig file in about 90 seconds (with a reasonably old laptop and external SSD). It contains about 100 songs and since only one song is loaded (using loading presets) I could also add 1,000 songs.
- RAM is greatly reduced.
Since I’m using a text file containing my songs which is loaded by the script, I have some other advantages:
- I can use it to print out set lists (not done yet; no need for yet)
- It contains the settings of the DMX light controller.
- Something I want to add is to add the length of the song, so I see the total length of the set list (per set), and if we are behind or ahead schedule.

How to automatically bypass plugins that are not used in a particular preset in global rackspace when changing next songs in local rackspace?
Include a widget for every plugin you want to bypass in the global rackspace and link that global widgets to widgets in the local rackspace.

@RosDimitrov,
either use the mentioned approach from @pianopaul above:
Advantage: no scripting involved
Challenge: need to do changes to each rackspace
Another possibility is this:
Advantage: work needed only for rackspaces that involve global plugins
Challenge: a little one-time scripting involved
Or the Auto Bypass Scriptlet:
Advantage: automatically unbypasses plugins based on their use
Challenge: needs MIDI
