There is more than one reason to have ledger lines between the staves, most commonly because the allocation to staves corresponds to which hand should play the note. In fact, going strictly by pitch to distribute the notes is a convention from 16th–18th century “Italian tablature”, which originally works like a single 10-line (with C2 clef in upper) or 11-line (with G2) staff for both hands.
