I think you can double lines with separatefields,scale combination.
You just need to set right size args to scale filter and use nearest
neigbour interpolation
for doubling lines.

I still think that what you do is wrong thing to do.
Why? mpv player already have various interpolation algorithms for
X->60 progressive upsampling.
Note that they are not motion ones, as that one is very fragile and slow.
