Euterpea's Setup.hs imports the local ArrowWrap.hs which requires 
haskell-src-exts < 1.14.0.  Euterpea.cabal specifies haskell-src-exts == 
1.13.5, but 'cabal configure' doesn't apply that requirement to 
compiling Setup.hs.

I ran 'cabal install haskell-src-exts-1.13.5' then 'ghc-pkg unregister 
haskell-src-exts-1.14.0' to fix this, but maybe there's a better way.

I didn't have any other trouble building Euterpea or PlainChanges2 
(after cabal installing the dependency versions that Euterpea.cabal asks 
for).

Once I built it, this worked for me on my Linux to listen to it:
$ ./dist/build/plainchanges2/plainchanges2 midi .
$ timidity whole-composed.midi

(SoundCloud claims to require Flash, which I avoid installing, so I 
couldn't listen to it there.)

By the way, on 
https://github.com/mzero/PlainChanges2/blob/master/doc/Building.md the 
link to Euterpea's website is broken.
