You are putting a spurious FretBoards into that override.
}
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
but there is seems to be ignored.
You should have been getting a warning/error message. I have to admit,
however, that this does not happen.
So perhaps my question should have been: Why would the information I
learned from the lilypond docs work in my main file, but stop working
when I put it in a 'global' included file?
Because it is not the same information. In a context definition,
\override is directly followed by the respective grob name rather than a
repetition of the context name.
