Frankly, we already had a discussion about how to make the default
\notemode a unified note/chord mode, long long ago. Tremolo input
notation is what is the main detraction here.

Oops. I stared at it for half an hour and missed the typo completely.
Embarrassing. I'll blame it on sleepiness.
But many thanks.

You are not in \chordmode
frets = \chordmode{g4 c4 a4 d4:7}

Input is in chord mode. Modifiers like :m and :7 work.
frets = { g4 c4 a4 d4:7 }
^
Missing \chordmode. :7 indicates a tremolo with an invalid duration.

P.S. BTW, since people often ask, I am using LilyPond 2.22.1
Fretboard diagrams: Why does LilyPond sometimes try to interpret ":7" as a duration?
Hi,
I decided to move all of the fretboards from various scores to a
"summary" score at the top -- sort of a "legend" so that the scores
would not take up so much space.
I'm defining a variable named frets and then, later:
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \frets
\new FretBoards \frets
>>
\layout { }
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new Voice = "mel" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto mel \words
>>
\layout { \autoBeamOff }
}
Two files:

(Without the frets score, everything is fine.)
