If it's a valid manifest, then guix weather -m /path/to/the/manifest.scm
If that doesn't work, then either you are using the wrong path or it's
not a valid manifest file.


If it can't find the file using a relative path (ie.: one that does not
start with a slash) then you should use an absolute path, like so:
/home/gpf/Projekte/Lilypond/lilypond.scm

This:
lilypond.scm=/home/gpf/Projekte/Lilypond
is definitely not going to work.  Guix uses that syntax for package
transformations, not files.
