You don't need this (the Time_signature_engraver is already in the
Staff context).  I'll amend the snippet since this is confusing.

You probably don't need these either unless you're after proportional notation.

This \layout block should suffice:

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
    \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
    \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver"
  }
}

You'll get this warning if you haven't explicitly instantiated each stave:

\new Staff

Please post you test file; it's difficult to diagnose what's wrong otherwise.
