Well, those redundant \layout settings make lilypond produce the
best possible notation. As a general rule, we want the headwords
to look as good as possible.
If we could use a predef for these, I'd totally propose a
\bestNotation or \qualityRendering or something like that. And
possibly a \fastRendering. But when I asked about this a while
ago, nobody had any other suggestions for specific tweaks to alter
the quality-vs-speed of rending, so I dropped the idea.
I suppose that there's nothing wrong with customizing specific
\layout settings for each headword, so I guess I'll go along with
removing these \layout settings.

All right, I'll do it after you revert the time signature stuff.
