[CM] Building Common Music on Arch Linux

[Brandon Hale]

I tried to link that folder, but for whatever reason it is not working; 
cm is not recognized. If you would be up to helping me over zoom, that 
would be awesome! What is the file that should be loaded? I have 
quicklisp all installed and working from the aur, and slime is now 
working for me (which is really cool), so any help you would like to 
offer, I would gladly accept. I would also be very interested to hear 
about your workflow, as I am interested in using lisp to generate cool 
scores!

Let me know what you think, I can send some times to you if you would like,
