Tag field for named set of tracks

Does anybody use a tag field for a named set of tracks within a disc (substantially smaller group than a disc, maybe 4-10 tracks)?

For example: Rod Stewart - Atlantic Crossing consists of "Fast Half" and "Slow Half"
Or 2013 remaster of ABBA - Ring Ring has sections "Bonus Tracks" and "Extra Bonus Tracks - Early Versions"

I used the field "Grouping" for this, without researching its meaning within the Apple system, where it apparently is used for Genre or a classical work. Recently there was controversy around this tag, and I must change it to something else.

In Foobar I append Grouping after the album name to visually divide long list of tracks, as found on remasters or 2-on-1 composite reissues.

If you're using ID3v2.4, I'd go with "SET SUBTITLE" (in fb2k) or "SETSUBTITLE" (in Mp3tag)

It's mapped to the TSST ID3v2.4 frame which is, according to the spec, intended for the subtitle of the part of a set this track belongs to.

Thanks. I shall use "set subtitle". I don't use ID3v2 at all, but I thought it was good idea to align with existing conventions for field names to avoid my tags renamed in a new player.
