Hello Dupe,
I do this using one of two methods:
1) If I only want to send across a few songs ...
Create a setlist of the songs I want to send to my other iPad.
In the list of setlists, press and hold on the setlist. It will get a tick against it when selected.
Menu bar > Share > Export setlist with files (.msf) - in my case I select Dropbox as I have cloud space that both iPads can access.
2) If I want to keep both iPads the same there are many ways. Here are two I use ...
Menu bar > ... > Sync Library > Synchronise with another device
The one sending will need to be the server, the one receiving, the client
or, via a backup ...
Menu bar > ... > Settings > Backup and Restore > Backup Library (on the sending iPad)
Menu bar > ... > Settings > Backup and Restore > Restore Library from Backup (on the receiving iPad)

To add more to what Lester said, you can also just long press a song on the Songs tab, tap each song to share, and tap Share->Export as .msf.

The wonder of MobileSheets and Mike's programming: there is always yet another way to do the same thing! That is great as we don't all think alike and so we can each find the method that is most convenient and logical for us. Thank you, Mike.

Hi Mike, many thanks for coming to my rescue again, only got the one song to transfer, so selecting drive and following your guide everything went fine. ?
