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.

Correct: I set uniform-stretching every time proportional notation is turned on.  

 

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.

Nice. I've always thought that sort of hybridization of classical spacing and proportional spacing would eventually become a new norm.
