I put all of my time signatures in an extra variable. It allows me to see all 
of the time changes in one place, and change them all in one place, if need be. 
I also put barline changes (\bar ":") in this variable:
\version "2.16.1"

global = {
   \time 6/8   s2.
   \time 3/8   s4.
   \time 6/8   \grace { s8 } s2.*2
}

rightOne = \relative c'' {
 c2. |
 bes16as es as bes c |
 \acciaccatura  { bes16[ c16] } bes4.~ bes |
 g8 bes es g bes es |
}
rightTwo = \relative c'' {
 a2. |
 f8 s f |
 f4 f g |
 g4. r |
}

\score {
   \new Staff <<
      \global
      \new Voice { \voiceOne \rightOne }
      \new Voice { \voiceTwo \rightTwo }
   >>
   \layout {}
}
