Open up info.bin from the sdat and go to 0x40 for a table.
First word is the number of entries in the table, each after it is a pointer to details on each sequence and the sseq/sbnk/swar loaded.
After going to where one of the entries points, you'll find the first 4 bytes identify the sseq.
The next 4 bytes identify the sbnk and swar, also effecting which byte 1 and 2 need to be set in order for the music to play in your level.
You can easily copy these from any other sequence to use the same instrument sets multiple times.

Spoiler: Object Visible Distance

02111a3c - possibly clock seed

02111a50(021118a8) - ct mecha 10 rotating
021118cc - store rotation at 0x114 from object
+0xb0 - 1a for inactive, 02 for active? (021905a0 in test)

020110fc - disappear object (draw distance stored +0xc from here)
02011128 - appear object

020110ec - unconditional jump to always be visible

//Everything always visible

02043cb8 - jump to object visibility handlers, (02010f78 is one were using)
020110d8 - load max range for each object(0xBC r4)
021905AC: 00 00 00 7F, always visible

02010e20/0201160c - writes max range on level entry
0201161c - runs the previous function for each object
0201160c - reads draw distance from object data (BREAK HERE, then search whatever is at R2)

0x247d2c - mecha 11 object in rom
+0x14 - draw distance
+0x48 - main behavior (02111934)
