Hi,
thank you very much for your help.

I am learning day by day how to use Guix.

1.
I understood till now that creating manifests mean several packages in 
one manifest, like in my music profile: ardour, audacity, audacious, 
musescore.

2.
When I was opening that profile I used musescore, I had to close it and 
then open audacity and so on.
It seems to me I can’t open several packages at once.
Or I don’t know how to do it, if possible.

3.
Now I realised that to create a manifest means one package, only 
musescore, or only emacs with all its emacs packages.

4.
Then upgrading the manifest/one profile
would not be a problem.

5.
What would be the difference to have several profiles in my main profile
without haveing guix home,

or to have several profiles in Guix home?



Kind regards

Gottfried
