I thought again and decided to not support different line counts in my GUI Editor. You can export lilypond with whatever linecount you want, but you have to work in a 5 line enviroment, end of the story. Related: This is really fun, I just did a 45 line staff, which is kind of a Piano-Roll view from DAWs. Can I add multiple clefs to one staff? In this case it would be nice to show the bass clef and the treble clef on their lines.
