Hi Joseph,

There are any number of reasons:

1. creating Schenker graphs (and other "non-traditional” use of traditional 
notation elements);

2. exploding vs. imploding tuplets;

3. contemporary notation not adequately handled by traditional duration-based 
noteheads;

4. in Lilypond in particular, getting around voice-based limitations (e.g., 
offsetting dynamics without using a function like \after).

etc.

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
