Dear Brent,

keep "Time_signature_engraver" and use \override TimeSignature #'stencil = #'() 
in den staff context instead. Now you can
(a) use "\time 4/4", "\time 3/4" or "\time 5/4" without printing the time 
signature
(b) let bars be printed automatically without calling \bar "|" (remove \set 
Score.automaticBars = ##f as well or set to ##t)

Best, Robert
