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.
