Yes.

1. Create a global variable — in it, include all time signatures, key 
signatures, rehearsal letters, tempo changes, etc.: anything that every part 
should contain. [Note: To "kill time", use skips, *not* rests!]
2. Create variables for each part's music.
3. Combine (using << ... >>) the global variable with the part's music variable 
in the score and part(s).

There are lots of examples in the LSR and docs on how to do this.

Good luck!
Kieren.
