Review the SCA cataloging manual for anything not covered in this small workflow:

For now, we will use one of these two excellent sources, referring to our circulating stacks or BARN workflows, or the SCA workflows for local codes & labeling, depending on the final location of the music being cataloged.
SCA rare music will usually have a curator-assigned location (see: https://usulibrary.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ULC/pages/950370551), and will have the non-circulating code of 7 (non-circulating books, LL).
Most circulating rare music will go to the BARN books location = gbks with circulation period of 0 (regular books) allowing for better control of the rare item.

It is helpful to review this print resource as well:
Collection-level cataloging : bound-with books / Jain Fletcher. Santa Barbara, California : Libraries Unlimited, c2010.
With a lot more cataloging options (including separate cataloging of each bound-with monograph item) than the title suggests. Some mention of music, but mainly discussing monographic books bound together into volumes.
A good general, and detailed, introduction to various bound-with cataloging problems/solutions.
