It used to include export but those were moved to Export a while ago.
What are the "output" and "display" cases you refer to?
« Print part » for instance, opens an evince window with the generated pdf.

 
I did wonder about replacing Print with Typeset, but decided against it
because naive users would not understand, they think "I want to print
this" and are only vaguely aware of the need to typeset it first.
True, naive users don't need, and probably don't want to know this.
 
OTOH I
stopped popping up the printer dialog for every "Print" command, because
people want to examine the typesetting and probably tweak it before
actually invoking Print, which they will do from the Print View (which I
did consider naming Typeset View, but again decided against it), after
they have looked through the typeset score.

Maybe this step can be called "preview" (preview part, preview with ambitus etc.). Commands about png or pdf generation could be called "export". That would leave the word "print" for printing only.
