Hi,

thanks very much for your help.

Sorry, this was my mistake.

the terminal doesn’t show the "prompt" (I don’t know how it is called)
gfp@Tuxedo ~ after opening one package
only if I enlarge the terminal, than it shows up.

with the first and second possibility you mentioned
I can open several packages, which is good.

But it opened Musescore 4.0.2, which shouldn’t.
and I don’t understand why.

and there are loads of messages:

I don’t know what to do with them.

with the command:
gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix shell -p ~/Projekte/Musik/guix-profil

it opened Musescore 3.6.2   which I want, and that is in that manifest 
installed.

But with this command there are messages:

> gfp@Tuxedo ~ [env]$ ZoomBox::setLogicalZoom(): Formatting logical zoom level as 100% (rounded from 1.000000)
> ZoomBox::setLogicalZoom(): Formatting logical zoom level as 100% (rounded from 1.000000)

> ScoreFont::draw: invalid sym 0


I don’t know what that means.

I didn’t know how to call it.
I meant by "main profile" the profile which I had in the beginning after 
installing Guix.
before I created other profiles.
(/home/gfp/.config/guix/current
/home/gfp/.guix-profile)
How do you call it?
my "dot profiles"?

gfp@Tuxedo ~$ guix package --list-profiles
/home/gfp/Projekte/EmacsManifest/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/GNUCash/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/Lilypond/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/Musescore/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/Musik/guix-profil
/home/gfp/Projekte/Photoflare/guix-profil
/home/gfp/.config/guix/current
/home/gfp/.guix-profile

to hack on Guix is quite difficult without having studied


kind regards
