It seems to me that as a music synthesis and composition system, overtone would be heavyweight for a "normal" app, that is one where the user doesn't compose music.
For most circumstances, I think, it would make more sense to use overtone to make the music, record it, and then bundle the wav. FWIW, I found the installation documentation okay; overtone loads, readies itself and makes music (well, sounds anyway, but the difference is my fault I think), reasonably easily. There is rather a big gap between the "getting started" documentation and the rest.
