You must know that LEK is not Koha : it's a unreleased fork of the 
official Koha.
In official Koha, afaik, the problem you describe does not exist 
(someone else on this list may have experimented your problem. I'm a 
UNIMARC guy, you're a MARC21 library, maybe there's a difference on some 
internals, but I don't think so)

No (in official Koha, dunno for LEK)

I confirm, and it's the behaviour of official Koha. You can look this 
file : 
http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha;a=blob_plain;f=etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs;hb=37d8ab6e831cd7f2cdf5919ddd2ebc2fa0ee3172
(it's the MARC21 indexes definition file from developpers repository)

the line

melm 505$t      Title

means the 505$t is indexed as a title

That can be changed, but not by the library, just by the techie guy (LL 
I suspect). Once it's done, zebra must be reindexed (byt the techie guy 
as well)
