How to remove time signatures in part of the score

[Peter Toye]

I want to remove the time signature in part of the score without losing the bar count.  I've tried this, but it doesn't seem to work - I get the default 4/4 time sig. What am I doing wrong?

OboePart= {
  \new Voice \with {
    \remove Time_signature_engraver
  }
  {
    \compressFullBarRests
    \clef treble
    R1*81
  }
  \new Voice \with {
    \consists Time_signature_engraver
  }
  \time 2/4
  \relative c''
  {
    c2| c2
  }
}


 
Regards,

Peter
