No error message here?  Haskore should now be in scope.  Did you try
':i AbsPitch'?  If that worked, and you still get the error below,
you need to check HasScales's imports.

Did you try :browse Haskore to check that it does, in fact, export
AbsPitch?

This is expected, you use :m to import those.
