And
currentlayout.set (x.name, x);
or something when the above appears in
\layout { ... }
Though \omit TimeSignature is short for the music expression
\override TimeSignature.stencil = ##f
and is translated into the identical looking context modification by
some hook function. Trying to understand LilyPond syntax based on how
it actually processes input is not likely to make learning easy since a
lot of complicated mechanisms work behind the scenes in order to make
things look easy.
