Fixes#43015 for me and hopefully also similar issues.
== Resource consumption ==
TL;DR: no change for small-memory cases, less CPU for large-memory cases.
I assume almost all of the large memory usage is just the expression
evaluation and managed by the GC, so I used just `nix-env -q...` to test.
Old and new lines for each command follow. I tried to run each several
times, but the values were very stable (<1% difference on re-runs),
so only one line for each command-version pair is provided.

* muse: init at version 3.0.2
Added MusE; an application for working with midi. Allowing recording
from midi instruments, playback and editing of midi files.
* muse: remove unnecessary dependencies
-builds and works just fine without listing these
* Use fetchFromGitHub and add sha256
This is a small c program used for pairing with a wireless PlayStation 3 controller via bluetooth.
I included a patch that replaces the depricated 'hcitool' command with 'bluetoothctl'.

I have renamed the overlay to “otherPackageSets” because I think that
is more descriptive.
pkgsLocal has been removed because there were concerns that it would
be confusing. None of the other names seemed very useful so I think it
is best to avoid it altogether. pkgsCross is still included,
hopefully, that will not have as much confusion.
pkgsMusl is now available for building Musl packages. It will give you
packages bulit with the Musl libc.
Also added more documentation.
