Welcome to the forum!

It is not clear to me what your problem is.

Generally you can not “delete” a time signature - all measures must have a time signature, that is the way the program works.

However, a time signature can be “not displaying”.

Please describe what you need, and why.

The better we understand, the better we can help.

My purpose was to hide the time mark from the staff, just visuall way to read the music without see how it should be count (of course, each bar still have the same beats as what I define).
Hope it was more clear..

Thank you!

Disclaimer:
I do not have PrintMusic.
The following is what Finale can do.
Perhaps PrintMusic can do it, too:

1. Measure Tool.
Double-click the measure.
In the Measure Attributes, set the Time Signature pop up menu to “Always Hide”.

2. You can also hide time signatures via a custom staff style.

PrintMusic has neither option. I'm afraid you can't do what you want, sorry.
