Thinking about this the Apparent Time Signature command may not be the best. Just use the 256/1 cadenza time signature (which is a Denemo special, avoiding coloring in the incomplete measures etc) and put the LilyPond syntax \time 4/1 at the start of the music - for testing purposes just use Insert LilyPond to do that. For a proper job the LilyPond syntax desired would go in as part of the override to the time signature so it didn't show up at the start of the music.
