Is it possible to get LSynth to use this element? I'm looking for it to be
treated similar to a rubber band in that I may want it to be (partly) wound
around constraining things like bushings or pulleys, but similarly to a flex
tubing in that it will usually be open ended.

Not currently.

But since you've made the source for lsynth available, there's no reason
why Larry couldn't attempt to add the string part to the code himself
and then submit the patches to you for official approval.  Right?  Isn't
that the whole point of opening up the source code?
