I tried it in one of my scores and it didn’t and doesn’t work. I’ll go 
troubleshooting and minimizing then...

In more complex situations with \include and several scores in one file 
it _is_ useful or even necessary, if you want to have one \layout 
definition for all scores in common, but for example remove the 
Mark_engraver (from Score) only for one of the scores. At least I did 
not find an alternative for \with in this particular case.
