The Scholar of Correspondence

Greetings, fellow Londoners! I'm an aspiring Scholar of Correspondence, and I'm afraid I need some help.
The problem is raising the Scholar of Correspondence quality up to 10. I'm currently at 5, and it seems I'm running out of ways to raise it further. I've already completed the University and didn't focus on side-stories there, and I'm at the end of the Shuttered Palace. I did my homework and found out that the two options to raise the Scholar is either at the University (which is no longer available to me) and through a certain Symphony in the Palace. I've composed 2 of them already, and I only got 1 point of Scholar (or even less than that) for this.
The question is: are there any better ways to raise the Scholar of Correspondence quality? I assume it'll need even greater input at later levels (7+), and it'll take forever for me to grind it up to 10. I'm burning around 30 actions for a Symphony to get composed, more if I get unlucky in setting up Inspired. This frustrates me greatly, but I don't want to leave the Palace only to find out that I can no longer become a proper Scholar.
Please, I need some help.

I already completed the case you've mentioned, which indeed raised my SOTC a bit. Unfortunately, It's at 4.5 at the moment: I completely forgot about the Correspondence while at the University.
If you keep using the Glim Sculptor card as it turns up in your deck, it'll work up to 7. That's how I got my start.
That said, there is of course the very expensive University method: you'll eventually want a high watchful for it.

If you've finished the University, look out for a case to follow. At the conclusion of that case, you'll unlock a card which can increase your SOTC up to 7.
There's also Fate locked opportunity card to increase your SOTC up to 10.

I believe your only other option is fate-locked; I don't have one myself, but I am fairly sure the corresponding ocelot's card would take you to ten. The symphony route feels onerous, especially if it's your first big grind, but you do turn a nice profit in moon pearls, so it's not too bad.
ETA: you get one CP of SotC for each symphony. Going from 7 to 10 takes about a week, I think, if you have decent persuasive.
