When the time signature changes AND it happens at the beginning of a staff, it appears at the end of the previous staff line ... I do not want to show the time change at the end of the previous staff .. how would I do that

If you only want to do it for a few measures, rather than globally, go to the measure tool, click on the measure, and check the proper option under display key signature: something like "don't display courtesy time signatures at end of measure" or similar wording. I don't have the exact prompts here, but if I'm seriously wrong someone will chime in with the correct answer.

The exact wording is "Hide cautionary clefs, key and time signatures."
In general they're a good thing, unless you're writing exercises or something like that, or there's a break between movements or songs.
