There are two goals for the wording here:
1) Explain to users in a few short words that if they export songs and files, that it's going to output a file containing all of the song metadata, links, bookmarks, annotations, etc, everything that is the database, plus the files used by those songs.
2) Explain to users in a few short words that they can export a "song list" which is just the list of titles in a .mss file which can be used to reconstruct a setlist but without any of the metadata or files (the songs have to already exist in the library of the device importing the .mss file)
There is also the "Export files" option which just exports the files used by the songs without any of their metadata, link points, smart buttons, etc.
So please tell me how you would differentiate these things in a menu with only a few words in French. Selecting a setlist, and then selecting "Export Setlist" doesn't tell me what kind of information is contained in the file that is generated. The user needs to know what they are exporting from the setlist, as there are three different forms as I explained above. "Export Setlist and Files" doesn't really explain that either, as what would I then put for exporting the setlist as list of song titles? "Export song titles from setlist" I suppose is one option, but that's starting to get verbose and will be quite long in some languages like German.
