You want to have just
(let ((text "Ch."))
  
here, the initialization of text to "1. " is immediately overwritten by
setting it to "Ch."

yes - you only need do it at most once, anywhere in your script.
Indeed, many commands you call are scripts that alter the score and
make that call (to mark the score as unsaved) themselves - 
d-InsertTextInVerse 
does this, so you don't need to call d-SetSaved in your script at all.
