Update: Instead of forcibly overriding the notehead, there a much better way:
The docs say that there are prefixes \linea and \cavum, but my first attempts 
didn't show any effect...

The source code shows that these glyphs are only used in the ligature 
engraver, so the command to use linea and cavum needs to be inside a 
ligature! 
The following works just fine:

\new VaticanaVoice {
  \[ \linea \cavum g \]
  \[ \linea g\]
}

Cheers,
Reinhold
