multiple titles in a single book

The title is formatted as:
Xenogenesis: Dawn / Adulthood Rites / Imago
Another type of book that you'll find with more than one title is what is known as an "upside down book" where one work is printed one way up and another work is printed upside down and the two are bound together into one volume back to back.
Here on GR an example is What Mommies Do Best What Daddies Do Best which is cataloged every which way imaginable and needs to be combined.
Library of Congress catalogs it as:
Main Title: What mommies do best
Added Title Page Title: What daddies do best
with
Notes: The 2 texts are bound back to back and upside down.
In worldcat.org public libraries have cataloged it several different ways so you can see that this is an issue that is rarely settled tidily between institutions but here on GR the convention of using the slash between titles seems as good as any of these above!
I have a book containing two titles of theater plays.
The title of the book lists both of them.
How do I separate them in the 'title' field?
I have seen that in some cases the character ';' is used
e.g.:
;
Is this the correct way? I have not been able to find an answer in the official documentation.
Thank you.
