This patch does concern the default method of horizontal spacing.

The bug that this is meant to fix 
(http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3304) can be seen even with 
proportionalNotationDuration, if there are interleaved rhythms on a line that 
is stretched or compressed.  Probably, though, you also set 
'uniform-stretching', which removes the problem.

This patch makes the default spacing case stretch/compress more like it does 
with uniform-stretching, while keeping the detailed spacing adjustments in 
response to things like neighboring stem directions that 'uniform-stretching' 
would normally skip.
