Thanks for your response Jean, So, the music notation system I am writing has assimetrical staves with only 4 lines, which means there is a blank space wider than the other two white spaces. For notes that fall into the wider blank space, I want a ledger line value of 2, but for the note that falls into the narrower blank space (G) I want a ledger line value of 1. From what you say, I believe you are worried about chords, am I right? In that case it would depend on whether the highest note is a G if it is above the staff or if the lowest is a G if it is below the staff.
