Thanks for the info - I've been discussing with Alex Mclean
(Tidalcycles author, stackage maintainer for hosc), who has indicated
Rohan (hosc author) has already fixed upstream - I believe this is the
patch:
https://gitlab.com/rd--/hosc/-/commit/85d792b127141c346a53f2b3dcd1ab149dba3871

Apparently he sometimes needs reminding to update on Stackage - so
I'll revisit in a couple of days.

Bernie
