Most of the beneventan MSS were written without staff lines, like the
st. gall. Somewhat later, lines were frequently added at F (often in
red) and less frequently at C (in yellow)

So if we were trying to make the output as close to the source as
possible, having the ability to enable/disable staff lines would be
useful. It's a minor detail, but it also seems like an easyish thing to
implement....
as for notation modes, I'd say
square notation on staff lines (enable/disable)
Ben notation on a choice of
full staff
no lines
c/f lines
option 5 seems too complex to be much use, at least to me
