It’s not clear to me... the manual says:

But I would still expect the book title to show up *somewhere*.  It’s
also interesting that the title, subtitle, and other properties seem to
inherit downwards willy-nilly; if I set a subtitle on the book, it will
show as the bookpart subtitle *and* the score subtitle, unless I
override it with subtitle = "" on one of the lower hierarchies.

This doesn’t seem such an unusual request.  I want to have:

crism’s tunes
  Reels
    The Concertina Reel
    Cooley’s Reel
  Jigs
    The Kesh Jig
    Lark in the Morning

Surely not that different from a book of sonatas, with parts for each
sonata and a score for each movement... I’m sure someone on this list
has done something like that.  How?
