No it does not. In my previous mail (the one you replied to!) I posted 
an example of how to put notes in the spaces. Just tell the engraver to 
use 7 strings. With 6 lines of staff and 7 strings on the lute that 
results in the strings being inbetween the lines.

Yep, but that is an uggly hack. Further more this would also make it 
impoissble to use the 7th string.

Because, as I wrote before, there are cleaner ways to accomplish the same.
