Phooey.  Mensural notation tends to have five lines (and that's the default  
in our staffs as well).  There is reference to it being able to have six  
lines, but I find no examples.   
<URL:http://ieee.uwaterloo.ca/praetzel/mp3-cd/info/raybro/mensur.html>  
seems to suggest that time signatures tend to be shifted upwards in  
four-staff systems, but I have the suspicion that the images on that page  
are cropped at the top, losing lines.
