only shows that information for the first cut in the cart. And looking
at mysql-workbench, it looks like there's a TITLE column under CARTS,
but not under CUTS.

Greg,

You are correct. The intention of "multiple cuts per cart" is that each
of the cuts will contain substantially similar material so that the
metadata applies to all of the cuts in the cart. Carts are not analogous
to albums. In fact there is really no concept of "grouping by album" in
Rivendell. Each cart stands on its own.

You might use multiple cuts in a cart if, for instance, you have several
takes of a promotional announcement. You'd add a "Promo" cart, then
import each of the takes into separate cuts in that cart. If you
configure no further constraints (e.g., day parts, weights, etc.),
Rivendell will play the next cut each time that cart gets played. Some
people place all of their legal station identification announcements in
one cart (each as a separate cut); then each top-of-hour event simply
plays the same cart, but you get the natural rotation of cuts within
carts to "mix it up" so the legal ID doesn't always sound exactly the
same...

Hope this helps explain carts and cuts a bit!
