It just does not wrap.

How do you break a file name anywhere except behind a slash? Breaking
anywhere else either looks strange or does not make it clear whether or
not a hyphen is supposed at the break.
It makes more sense to reword, like
The file @file{predefined-ukulele-fretboards.ly} contains the fret
diagrams for the ukulele.
Putting the unlikely-to-break-well material near the start of the
paragraph gives you the best chances to get by.
