Ivan,

To turn off time signature all together, 
do \set Score.timing = ##f

That gets ride of time signature both visually and actually,
if you want to insert barlines after that, inser them manually:

\bar 

If you want to break a line with no barline at the end, do 
\bar "" \break 

Actually, I have a file with a set of definitions (raspev.ly) that
allows you to write metreless music indefinitely with linebreaks inserted
almost automatically. I will share it with you if you like.
It isn't perfect in that it will also break a line between a dotted quarter
and the following eighth, but it is helpful if you have long metreless pieces
and you want to just type them in without worrying about line-breaks until 
later.
