What I do for this kind of thing is use a slightly different layout.

Each file contains:
-------
\header {
 title = "Overall Title"
 piece = "title of this piece"
 }

tune =  \relative c'' {c c c c}

\score {
   \new Staff \tune
   \header {piece = "title of this piece"}
   \layout {}
}

\score {
   \unfoldRepeats \tune
   \midi {
     \tempo 4 = 120
   }
}
------
Then I have a global file

---
\header {
title = "CollectionTitle"
}

\paper {
  scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
      \fill-line {
        \fontsize #3 \bold \fromproperty #'header:piece
      }
    }
}

\include "piece1"
\include "piece2"
...
---

This creates a bunch of Midi files and a single PDF file.
