Running
$ export GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH=~/Guix
$ echo $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
produces "/home/<user>/Guix". The file is saved as
"/home/<user>/Guix/custom/packages/variants.scm".
Then running
$ guix package --install lilypond@2.18
or
$ guix package --verbose --install lilypond@2.18
produces only that one error: "guix package: error: lilypond: package
not found for version 2.18"
Here's what I have in variants.scm, in case I did something wrong there:
