It appears that the Sound Smith Disk - GS 41 - will not work on a GS with a single 3.5in drive. John Wrenholt of the Big Red Computer Club provides the following answer:-

First, you need to make a back-up copy of your System Disk 5.0.2. Sound Smith requires System 5.0 or higher. It will not work with System 4.0. After you have completed the back-up procedure, insert the back-up disk in your drive and boot your IIGS. After you see the "thermometer", you will arrive at the program called the "Finder". We will use this program to delete files to make room for Sound Smith.
You will be able to remove files by clicking on the icons of unnecessary files, and then dragging them to the trashcan. You will need to remove enough files to get at least 235K of free disk space>  Once the files have been dragged to the trashcan, you will need to "Empty Trash" from the Finder's pull-down menu which is labelled "Special".
In the main directory of your disk, you may safely remove Tutorial, AppleTalk, BASIC.Launcher and BASIC.System. Then, double-click on the folder marked System. From that folder, you will be able to remove the files: P8, Cdevs and ExpressLoad. Next open up the folder marked Fonts, and remove all of the files except FastFont and Font.List. Close the Font folder and open the Desk.Accs folder. Remove the file called CtlPanel.NDA. Close the Desk.Accs folder and open the folder called Drivers. Remove the file called Imagewriter and then empty the trash.
This should give you at least 235K of free space on your disk. You need to copy five files from GS 41 to your disk. They are SNDSMITH.SYS16, Title.Screen, DOC.Data, SndSmith.Screen and Intro.Music. Make sure you copy them to the main directory. You can now launch the Sound Smith program by double-clicking on the SNDSMITH.SYS16 icon.
While all this may be a bother you could, of course, solve the problem by investing in another drive, or better still, a hard drive.
