Yes, the lines like
"Add your own user-specific stuff here"
self addDir: '/Content/Sound/*' to: SoundDir. "NB: you can add using
wildcards"
self addDir: '/Content/Scores/*' to: ScoreDir.
self addDir: '3-Credo/*' to: SoundDir.
self addDir: 'MKGandhi/Data' to: SoundDir.

are user-specific. If you want Siren to automatically find your sound/
score files, add the folders here.

Check out the files in the STP_GUI folder of the Siren7.5 ZIP file,
esp. MotifWidgetPolicy-initializeDefaultGenericColors.st

I set a few things like scroll-bar location and screen colors that
you're invited to override.
