A Theory of Tonal Hierarchies in Music (2010, background): “It should be noted that more recently Temperley (2007) introduced an alternative approach to key-finding that is based on the probability of sequences of tones in different keys and assigns key according to these probabilities (using Bayes’ theorem from statistics).”
A corpus analysis of rock harmony (2011, background): “(The D of the melody could be explained as a purely melodic note, independent of the changing harmonies beneath – an example of what some have called ‘melodic-harmonic divorce’ [Moore 1995, p. 189; Temperley 2007a].)”
