Better, indeed. I have a couple more comments, if you don't mind.
I think I will be able to commit it at next iteration.

Like you did.

I don't think so.

Could you add a proper commit message to the patch ? It would look like:

* gnu/packages/music.scm (fmit): New variable.

Also, could you add yourself to the copyright line at the top of the
"music.scm" file?

You need to add the following line here:

    (file-name (git-file-name name version))

> +	      (sha256 (base32 "03nzkig5mw2rqwhwmg0qvc5cnk9bwh2wp13jh0mdrr935w0587mz"))))

This line is too long, you ought to use

    (sha256 
     (base32
      "..."))

You forgot to re-order inputs alphabetically.

I don't think title case is warranted here. "Musical instrument tuner"
is enough, IMO.

Please move the string so that it starts on the same line as
"(description ".  Also, it is missing a final dot.

  ;; Most of ... under LGPL2.1.

i.e., missing capital and the final full stop.

Could you send an updated patch? Thank you!
