You can perfectly well do this in a \with block, but your problem is
that you are doing it in the \with block for \VaticanaVoice.  Try using
\VaticanaStaff instead.  StaffSymbol, clefs, keys and so on all are
engraved at staff level, so overriding matter at _voice_ level only
makes sense for things like cue voices, optional material and other
stuff that is intended to look _different_ from the main stuff.
