No, the result of "guix shell" is cached, so if you use it every day,
nothing should be compiled.

It would be something like this:
   guix time-machine --commit=2a11acef8c2f8eb70e6f18abaddf8e22459e6006 -- shell 
musescore
where for the commit, you need to use one that has the musescore version
you are interested in. Now the first time this could take a very long
time, in case all the substitutes leading to musescore have been
forgotten by the build farms.
