I'm not sure what the challenge is about exactly...
I think that you want to be able to process a score which is part of a 
book project in a way that the same score will be available as score x 
at page y in the book file and also a standalone score (including 
titles, paper layout, etc.).

I used to have problems with this, but I've recently learned how to use 
\bookpart effectively.
I think that as soon as issue 2902¹ is fixed, the power of bookpart will 
be more evident to any user :-)

I confess that I've not understood your 6 points list.
I'm used to use a very simple setup for books: a book file which 
includes bookpart files.

Maybe a minimal example would help to clarify your book creation strategy.
