that's how it seems to me, after reading the comments from French-speakers in response to your other question

15:36 Mar 30, 2011 

Reading your comments I understand that the english word "set" is commonly used in french for music, is it ? So, I can translate both with "set" ("set court" and "set acoustique"), and so on throughout the whole text. Is it right ?

... your subsequent question ("short set", http://www.proz.com/kudoz/english_to_french/music/4297205-sh... ), presumably you will want to use one solution throughout your text for "set": why not keep it as a loanword?

plenty of refs for "set acoustique" in just this kind of context.

That's what Dylan played before he went "electric," which was a very controversial change for his fans (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Dylan#Going_electric)

a "set" is a group of songs performed together by one performer/combination
"acoustic" means not using electronic instruments

– glad to see we agree!

In music, 'set' is a sequence of a number of pieces of music played as part of a concert, e.g.

'acoustic' means that it is played (more or less) without amplification — at least, not to the sort of excessive degree that is usual for pop concerts!
