Do S ranks on special stages help unlock expert stages?

Question

I understand that to unlock Expert Stages you must clear a prerequisite amount of stages with a score of S.

Do S ranks achieved on Special Stages count towards unlocking these Expert stages?

No. Only S ranks on the main stages count towards unlocking Expert Stages.

According to Bulbapedia:

Expert Stages in Pokémon Shuffle are unlocked based on the number of Main Stages players win at S-rank (not Pokémon captured). Players cannot access Expert Stages until they complete Stage 12. All Expert Stages are timed-based stages rather than move-based stages.

The table on the site also gives you the following information:

HP
Time (This is expressed in minutes & seconds)
Catch-ability Percentage
Required amount of S-Ranks to unlock the stage.
