i'd like to be able to have 4-line and 5-line staves interspersed, with the top and bottom staff lines of each aligning.
As always, you're getting lots of practical advice from the knowledgeable membership of this list, and the discussion so far is fascinating.
I have a somewhat different question. Why do you want to do this? The only use I can think of for a 4-line staff is for Gregorian chant notation, and St. Meinrad's Archabbey in southern Indiana has a very fine font for this. Well, not exactly a font. It takes over and reprograms your ASCII keyboard, and takes a while to learn, but it looks great.
The only other usage I can think of is for unpitched percussion, but percussionists are used to reading from a 5-line staff like everyone else.
Just curious. No big deal.
