Thanks for trying!! That's great.  Do you have any experience with Guix?
What kind of system are you on?

Are you aware that for Guix to work, you need to create guixbuild01..10
users and start the build daemon?

Diane Trout has created a repository to build a debian package for Guix
that handles these things.  I've been using that on Debian/Ubuntu.

I have written two shell scripts to help with building Guix and using
Guix+lily from a guix git clone.  Possibly that's of help to you.

To build and install Debian/Ubuntu guix package

    cd ~/src
    wget https://gitlab.com/janneke/debian-guix/raw/master/guix-for-xenial.sh
    bash -e guix-for-xenial.sh
    
then setup and use my guix-lily patches

    bash -e debian-guix/debian/guix-lily.sh

After that, you can say

   guix environment lilypond-guile2

to get a build environment set-up with guile stable-2.0 from git, or

   guix package -i lilypond-guile2

to build and install the lilypond package itself.

Greetings,
Jan
