See Tuomas Eerola et.al. : Statistical Features and Perceived Similarity of Folk Melodies.

They suggest that weighted events explain more than mere frequency of events:
"...incorporating a simple coding for the saliency of events in music increases the fit between the perceptual judgments and the theoretical similarity between the melodies."
