Is this intended to fix some of the problems with parts that use larger note values as the fundamental "beat"?
No. Which problems in particular are you thinking of?
Or is it to fix the problem of Petrucci transcriptions looking wierd because modern spacing algorithms leave more space between larger note values and Petrucci didn't?
Right. But please note, that the only new thing is that I just added the "packed" option to lilypond-book. The "packed" variable has been part of lily almost as long as the "raggedright" variable and is used analogously (actually, raggedright=##t originally also packed notes in early lily 1.x, but very soon was factored out into a separate variable).
Or some other problem?
If it's either of the above, I'm in favor. I've been doing some transcriptions from Odhecaton A, and normally I think Lily's output looks much better than whatever I transcribed from, but Petrucci really does beat Lily 2.0 at his own game. See <http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/288.html> for an example.
Indeed, you may want trying to set the packed variable to ##t, but I fear that you then get something that is too heavily packed.
