A recent post to bug-lilypond by Štěpán Němec here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-08/msg00083.html

entitled "Second staff beginning with an acciaccatura defeats "\override  
Staff.Timsignature" which showed the well-known problem of starting with a  
grace note:

---------------

% here, the first staff gets time signature, but shouldn't

\version "2.14.2"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff {
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    c
  }
  \new Staff {
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    \acciaccatura c c
  }


-------------


That post led to very concise presentation of the standard workaround from  
Reinhold Kainhofer here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-08/msg00084.html

Quoting:

Same problem as we have in all cases when one voice starts with grace  
notes... You need to add spacer grace notes too all other staves, too:

\version "2.14.2"

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff {
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    \acciaccatura s c
  }
  \new Staff {
    \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
    \acciaccatura c c
  }


Cheers,
