Now, what I didn't think of was using music for scene separation. I was struggling while thinking of ways to portray that, so that's very useful! What do you think about also playing the music behind the reading of the title? And I'll gladly listen to your samples sometime.

You don't need a script, only the story text, for narration. A script is needed for audio drama.
I've worked in BBC, AV facilities and had my own multmedia company in 1990s. All you suggest has been tried by others and me.
No music or effects on titles or body text narration or else it's tiring to make it out. It's not for you as you are reading.
You'll see the same effect with cinema DVD/BD. Almost incomprehensible English dialogue due to music/effects is easy to follow with the subtitles on. Very much modern TV & Cinema has rubbish production values, such as poor dialogue mix and even too close "close ups" as if we are all watching 1936 9" screens instead of 36" to 55"
Also I don't turn down foreign language films just because the subtitles are on. It's sort of like magic.
