Re: open a package in the terminal

Hi Gottfried,

The project (≈package) named 'musescore' distributes a binary (≈command) named 
'mscore':

  ~ λ ls $(guix build musescore)/bin
  mscore

Don't ask me why they didn't call it 'musescore', but in general package names 
do not map 1:1 to binary names.  That's why peeking in the /{s,}bin directories 
is helpful.

An obvious example is 'coreutils', which provides most of the commands you use 
daily, but none named 'coreutils'.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
