As soon as you write a \time ... or s1 or break, LilyPond will silently
create
a stave to be able to handle the time signature and so on. This stave is
then
used also for the melody, unless you explicitly ask for a new stave.
In the following modified version of your code, I have added a line that
explicitly creates the stave, to make it more clear what actually happens.
\version "2.8.1"
\layout {
indent = 0.0\cm

\header {
