I notice that Guix has Lilypond 2.19.58, which is the current unstable
version. Is it possible to access the current stable version, Lilypond
2.18.2, via Guix?

Thank you.

I currently have no access to a system with guix installed, but did you try
$ guix package install lilypond@2.18.2
?

It has not been packaged, but it should not be difficult to add a
variant for the stable version by inheriting from the “lilypond” package
definition and overriding the version and source fields.  You can add a
module defining such a package to your GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH (see the manual
for more information about how to use this feature).

Something like this might work (untested):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; This file is not part of GNU Guix but is distributed under the same
;;; license as GNU Guix.

(define-module (custom packages variants)
  #:use-module (guix utils)
  #:use-module (guix packages)
  #:use-module (guix download)
  #:use-module (gnu packages)
  #:use-module (gnu packages music))

(define lilypond-stable
  (package (inherit lilypond)
    (version "2.18.2")
    (source (origin
              (method url-fetch)
              (uri (string-append
                    "http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/sources/v"
                    (version-major+minor version) "/"
                    name "-" version ".tar.gz"))
              (sha256
               (base32
                "01xs9x2wjj7w9appaaqdhk15r1xvvdbz9qwahzhppfmhclvp779j"))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After putting this in $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH/custom/packages/variants.scm
and setting GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH you should be able to install it with

    guix package -i lilypond@2.18

Hope this helps!

This would require a package definition for that version of lilypond and
we don’t have that.  My instructions for GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH would add
such a package definition locally.

PS: the command would be “guix package --install lilypond@2.18.2”

I suggest not to set GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH to HOME.  Better create an empty
directory “$HOME/custom-guix-things” and create the directory structure
there, so you’d have

    $HOME/custom-guix-things/custom/packages/variants.scm

and GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH pointing to “$HOME/custom-guix-things”.

The file “variants.scm” would define the module “(custom packages
variants)”.

By exporting it as an environment variable:

    export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=/path/to/somewhere

Okay, this means that we need to add the name field, because it is
referenced in source -> origin -> uri.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define lilypond-stable

    (name "lilypond")

Thank you. The first error is gone, but I still get

guix package: error: lilypond: package not found for version 2.18

Any ideas?

Are there any other error messages?  It does work for me, so there are
probably other error messages that lead to a failure to evaluate the
custom module, or GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH is incorrect.

Running
$ export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/Guix
$ echo $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
produces "/home/<user>/Guix". The file is saved as
"/home/<user>/Guix/custom/packages/variants.scm".

Then running
$ guix package --install lilypond@2.18
or 
$ guix package --verbose --install lilypond@2.18
produces only that one error: "guix package: error: lilypond: package
not found for version 2.18"

Here's what I have in variants.scm, in case I did something wrong there:

Hi,

[…]

This must be “define-public” instead of “define”; alternatively, you can
add “lilypond-stable” to the list of exports in the module definition.

Without this the variable is only defined locally and won’t be visible
to Guix.
