The measures are the entropy rate, redundancy and \emph{predictive information rate}\cite{Abdallah:2009p4089} of the melody. Predictive information rate is an information measure developed as part of the Information Dynamics of Music project\footnote{(IDyOM) http://www.idyom.org/}. It characterises temporal structure and is a way of modelling expectation and surprise in the perception of music. -We describe the information dynamics approach, how it forms the basis of the Melody Triangle and outline two of its incarnations. The first is a multi-user installation where collaboration in a performative setting provides a playful yet informative way to explore expectation and surprise in music. The second is a screen based interface where the Melody Triangle becomes a compositional tool for the generation of intricate musical textures using an abstract, high-level description of predictability. Finally we outline a pilot study where the screen-based interface was used under experimental conditions to determine how the three measures of predictive information rate, entropy and redundancy might relate to musical preference. +We describe the information dynamics approach, how it forms the basis of the Melody Triangle, and outline two of its incarnations.
