Cool :) I'm really glad that Guix has a champion for music software.

Thanks for figuring that out!

The readline module is not imported by music.scm on current master.
Maybe you have a WIP patch that imports it in your tree? Anyways, the
"readline" variable is currently unbound.
It builds fine for me otherwise.

Have you considered describing the "type" of synthesis here in the
synopsis? For example, it could be additive, subtractive, frequency
modulating, etc. Each synthesizer variable could have a synopsis like
"Additive software synthesizer", etc. That would be a nice affordance
for synth geeks :)
In this case, it looks like the synthesis type is "multi-paradigm".
