Paul, I don't know if you are familiar with this article, but if not
you will certainly want to be:

Vidyamurthy and Murty, Musical harmony a fuzzy entropic
characterization, Fuzzy Sets and Systems 48 (1992) #2, 195-200

The authors define a note by fuzzing it, as a function from R+ to
[0,1], which attains the maximum of 1 (this suggests the function
should be continuous or at least piecewise continuous to me.) They
then define their version of harmonic entropy in general terms.

Boy does this look familiar, but I can't find the reference...
