Forgive me for barging in without having something to contribute to your 
actual question:

Are you aware that you can do almost all of this using LilyPond syntax?

\version "2.22.0"

\book {
  \markuplist \table-of-contents

  #(do ((study-number 1 (1+ study-number)))
      ((> study-number 15))
      (add-score
       #{
         \score {
           \header {
             piece = #(number->string study-number)
           }
          \new Staff <<
            \tocItem \markup { #(number->string study-number) }
            \new Voice { c' }
          >>
         }
       #}))
}
