2 Profiles with 2 different version of Musescore

2 Profiles with 2 different version of Musescore

Hi,

I have 2 profiles, one with Musescore 3.6.2, the other with Musescore 
4.02 (the last version, ongoing).
When I enter "mscore" in the terminal it opens the version 3.6.2, which 
I want.

But what do I have to enter in the terminal to get the new version of 
Musescore?

-- 
Kind regards

Gottfried

You need to write down the absolute path to the musescore 4 executable.
Something like

/home/gfp/Projekte/pfad/zum/profil/mit/musescore4/bin/mscore

should work.

As a shorthand you could add an alias like this

alias mscore4="/home/gfp/Projekte/pfad/zum/profil/mit/musescore4/bin/mscore"

to .bash_aliases (if it is being 'source'd by bashrc) or.bashrc otherwise.

(Put everything in one line. My mailclient automatically wraps long 
lines even if it should not do so in this case.)

when you restart your shell (or type `source ~/.bashrc`) then
mscore4
should execute musescore 4.

In order to avoid manually updating the alias each time the package is upgraded, you can use a declaration in guix home:

(home-environemnt
  (services (list
    (service home-bash-service-type
      (home-bash-configuration (guix-defaults? #t)
                               (aliases `(("mscore4" . ,(file-append musescore "/bin/mscore")))))))))

If you do not wish to use guix home, you could also use the extra-special-file service in your system configuration:

(extra-special-file "/usr/bin/mscore4" (file-append musescore "/bin/mscore"))

Just make sure /usr/bin is in your $PATH.

My suggestion always points to the current version of the respective profile. I did not point to the store entry of musescore.

Hi,

thanks very much for your help.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I put this in my .bashrc file

#alias für Musescore4
alias mscore4="home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore/guix-profil/bin/mscore"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
then restarting the terminal

it works.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This was my first alias in my life I created, with your help, of course.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So with the help of all of you I am somehow studying Informatik/

computer science peu a peu / little by little / in my spare time.

_That’s great_.


Kind regards

Gottfried
