Re: attaching markup to time signature

You’ve put the Balloon_engraver in the Score context, so all staves will 
display balloons. Use \with on the one Staff context instead (see below). If 
you need it on more than one, but not all, staves, you might consider creating 
a custom StaffWithBalloons context.

Hope that helps!

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.80"

melody = \relative c' {
  c4 c c c
}

stuff = {
  \balloonGrobText #'TimeSignature #'(0 . -1) \markup "test1"
  \balloonGrobText #'Clef #'(0 . -1) \markup "test2"
  \time 2/4
  c2 c
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup
  <<
    \new Staff { \clef "treble" \melody }
    \new Staff \with {
      \consists "Balloon_engraver"
      \override BalloonTextItem.annotation-balloon = ##f
      \override BalloonTextItem.annotation-line = ##f
      \override BalloonTextItem.font-size = #-2
      \override BalloonTextItem.font-series = #'bold
    }
    { \clef "bass" \stuff }
