You want to prevent the spacing engine from pulling the first stave
away from the time signature, so you need to set
'keep-fixed-while-stretching in the Staff context *below* TimeSig (see
the relevant docs here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vertical-spacing-inside-a-system#Vertical-spacing-inside-a-system)

Should be #'X-offset.  Lilypond won't report a type-check failure here
since the garbled property (#'X-:set) is set to a procedure.
