I consider ..csv files suitable for large pdfs that are not subject to change e.g something you buy.
This means that once set up correctly, you won't need to update any of the entries so any annotations are preserved.
When creating/importing a .csv, it helps if you use one of the fields to identify the songbook. You can then easily filter on this field to identify the songs to be deleted prior to reimporting. Deleting the entry destroys it's annotations.
One of the groups I attend has a large pdf songbook and this probably changes every month. Deleting/reimporting this book would lose any annotations that I've made. To get around this, I print the individual songs to a pdf writer (Cutepdf) and import the songs individually. This allows individual songs to be switched while maintaining their annotations.
This works well as I only have one such file; as you have several such files, you might have to mix and match.
There are several .csv files posted on the forum so check to see if any cover your files
