Hello,
I needed to typeset some poetry and noticed that
\startlines[space=on]
Some line with tab % doesn't work, no spaces added
Some line with spaces %work
\stoplines
Is there a way to make the "tab" render the space "as is"?

one can make the tab 'active' and have a meaning of say 2em but that's
normally not what one does in tex ... btw, there are options for doing
lines with odd/even indentation schemes
a tab at the start of a line (when it can be recognized as such) could
work but in the middle ... doable but still somewhat hackery because it
involves position tracking

For poetry that has non-regular indentations, I simply
\definelines[poem] and set that up the way I want, obviously, with
\setuplines[poem] e.g. [before={\blank
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.5ex]},after={\blank},indenting=first].
And then, but I guess it is still a hack, I use \hskip at a suitable
dimension whenever I need indented lines:
\startpoem
This is line one,
\hskip1em{This is line two}
This is line three,
\hskip1em{This is line four,}
\hskip1em{This is line five.}
\rightaligned{Poet's name}
\stoppoem
