Yes, it reports the line style of the new note. The line style for a new note is determined by your preferences, NOT by whatever arbitrary settings you may have in the Lines panel (which you may not even have shown.) You can use the Lines panel to /inspect/ the current line settings, or to /change/ the line settings of the selected note.
