How about making \pattern a music function taking a context
modification as argument?  Then you could write

\pattern \with { \override NoteHead.style = #'slash }
\pattern \with { \kievanOn }
\pattern \with { ... }

and just pass the context mod on to the \new Voice within \pattern.

It seems awkward to use Staff-wide overrides here.

By the way: it's frightening how fast one gets used to the new
override syntax.  I had to think really hard about whether this was
supposed to be different previously or not.  And then it seems strange
that there would have been no dot.
