Right. 246 is for alternative titles to the item as a whole. Parts go in
505 and 730. All the info can be found at

There is the 730 field for other titles - or you can do a Table of
Contents that would be keyword searchable (505).  Lastly there is the
246 which is the alternate title field.

Hope that helps a bit.  I'd say put it in the 505, since it is more a
table of contents than an alternate title.
