It can,  but it depends upon context.
 
Interpretation of the stroke or double stroke I believe also depends upon
context as to whether to begin on the principal or the auxiliary.   In my
readings through the virginal repertoire,  I find it impossible to assign a
single interpretation to the single and double stroke.
