Interesting! I have started typesetting some of Westhoff's solo violin
suites, which originally were typeset using a similar 8 line staff, see
http://imslp.org/wiki/Suites_for_Solo_Violin_%28Westhoff,_Johann_Paul_von%29
As an additional feature, Westhoff used unequal spacing between the staff
lines, with additional spacing below the 3rd and 5th staff line. 
I have contemplated on the possibilities to achieve this with LilyPond, but
concluded that it seems very challenging, since not only the staff lines but
also all pitch positions have to be adjusted. On the other hand, the primary
reason I'm typesetting the pieces with LilyPond is that I have such a hard
time to read the 8 line notation that I wanted to have them in standard
notation to be able to play them.
