For me the key difference is: In my proposal, Part_number is derived
from the work (ie. the score) only, in MultiTrackMovementStyle it can
depend on the release. This gives a different semantics to Part_number
(think for example how it could be represented in a database scheme).
As a consequence, in my proposal the same "Presto" will always have the
same Part_number, independent of the release (assuming the same level of
granularity is chosen for Part_number).
In MultiTrackMovementStyle, the same "Presto" can be "IVf." in one
release and "IVb" in another.

Searching the MB releases of the 9th Symphony, I couldn't find any example
where my proposal would actually lead to duplicate titles in one release.
Do you know a specific release where this would be the case?
Are track titles required to be unique within one release?
What happens if they are repeated?
If it's confusing to see several tracks with the same movement number
"IV.", we could make the second and following "IV (continued).". To use
your example:
(8) Symphony No. 9 in D minor "Choral", Op. 125: IV. Allegro assai -
(9) Symphony No. 9 in D minor "Choral", Op. 125: IV (continued). Tempo I -
(10) Symphony No. 9 in D minor "Choral", Op. 125: IV (continued). Allegro
assai -
